Get involved in social rides 

If you would like to be one of our social ride leaders, please email our Rides Coordinator with your contact details and what sort of riding you are interested in and we'll let you know when the next Ride Leader Skills Development Workshop is scheduled.   

You don't have to be super fit or into competitive riding, our rides are a mixed bag depending on the interests of our ride leaders. They offer everything from short 1–2 hour rides, with stops along the way, to day-long excursions.    

Our ambassador routes have been developed by our social rides coordinator Di with help from other riders. It’s another way of helping more people to ride if you don’t’ have the time to run regular social rides.
