For the last two years or so on every Saturday we have been having a regular family orientated cycle ride. These rides are suitable for all family members, the distance covered is generally quite short and usually not too hilly! Riders range in age from three years, to, well I'd rather not say. These rides are also appropriate for family members who do not usually participate in RSF events, but would like to get the bike out now and again for a short spin in the company of like minded people.

We usually start from a cafe, then ride a few miles to another cafe etc, hence the title of our group 'The Cafe Crawlers'. Informal membership cards have now been issued to this effect!

The rides are suitable for all bikes, inc. cycles with child seats--tag alongs (trailer bikes)--child trailers--tandems etc.The routes tend to be mostly off-road, with various start points, usually covering between five to fifteen miles at a quite leisurely pace (or even slower!), with plenty of rest stops. The rides are usually of between two to five hours duration.

If you would like to participate on a ride or two ring me on 01254 772983 for the start location of this or any other week's ride, and the intended route etc.
