About us
This is a group for those who love OFF ROAD cycling and would like to meet up with other cyclists in a friendly, informal and supportive atmosphere.
We organise regular rides in the Yorkshire area, covering a variety of distances and types of terrain, using traffic free routes as much as possible. Each ride announcement has a general description, plus information on the meeting place, distance to be covered, level of difficulty to be expected, and the types of bike suitable for the terrain.
Members are charged just £1 per event, payable on the day, which goes towards the Meet Up web site administration fees.
Members not taking part in any rides over a long period of time may be removed from the group, but are free to re-join if their circumstances change, subject to approval.
Please note that we are not insured as a group, so each rider is responsible for their own safety. We only have one firm rule, which is:
Helmets are required on all rides, no exceptions. No Helmet = No Ride!
