CYCLE INTO SUMMER ON OUR FAMILY-FRIENDLY RIDE<\/h2>\n

Join us on\u00a0Sunday 15 June 2025<\/strong> for our fun-packed confidence-boosting summer ride! Designed with all ages and cycling abilities in mind, our summer cycle will start from the fabulous Fishponds Park<\/a> in Surbiton, gathering near the main pond in the centre of the park (we recommend entering from the Ewell Road entrance). And – as always – our easy-paced, short ride will take in quiet roads and traffic-free routes, with marshals on hand to keep everyone safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a brilliant event! Gave me the nudge I needed to get back on the bike after many years.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing in a group makes such a difference and gives us the confidence to venture a bit further as a family.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI never imagined my five-year old would be able to manage this type of distance. But he loved it! The regular pauses and nice, slow pace made it a fun morning, and has opened the doors for us to do even more bike outings as a family.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
