Guided, Breeze & Social Rides

Free Bike Ride Programme in association with British Cycling

On your bikes now, everyone!

Free Social Rides from and to our Cycle Hub happen regularly, and are run entirely by volunteer Ride Leaders and Breeze Champions. You can find rides all over the UK on the British Cycling website, and our rides form a small part of the many available to enjoy across the UK.

If you’re feeling nervous about group cycling, or think that the speed or lycra may be intimidating, you will be welcomed at one of the free rides starting from Watford Cycle Hub.

Routes are planned in advance, and checked to make sure they’re suitable for the ride level as advertised. Try our relaxed beginner rides to local favourites like the LP Cafe in Watford High Street, along the Ebury Way to Rickmansworth Aquadrome or Woodoaks Farm in Maple Cross, or more challenging countryside rides out to Sarratt, Belsize or Flaunden.
