What is Summer Cycling?
Mike’s Wednesday night summer cycling was formed to provide and promote recreational cycling in the heart of south Leicestershire countryside during the summer months between April & End of August. The cycling is “all-inclusive” which means that everyone is welcome. The groups meet at a local pub every Wednesday at 6:30 pm prompt. There are usually three lead rides:
- 12-14 Miles Recreational & Electric Bike Ride – Average 12 mph
- 18-20 Miles Moderate Ride – Average 14 mph
- 20-25 Miles Extended Ride – Average >16 mph
After the ride, we usually meet up for a bite to eat or a drink afterwards.
- Please ensure that your bike is roadworthy
