Off-Road cycling groups near Reading, UK
Are there any off-road / trail cycling groups in the Reading, UK area?
A small group (4 - 8) of us already do regular Sunday routes, and would like to join up with some other groups. Are there any out there? Or are there any people who would like to join us. We are not particularly fit. We do 20 - 30 miles every other Sunday, followed by a pub lunch. We even do the occassional weekend venture to proper hills / mountains. Any takers? |

Reading CTC has an off-road section: http://www.readingctc.co.uk/ I would have thought The Lookout, south of Bracknell, would be a good place to meet fellow off-roaders. There are always plenty there on the weekend and summer evenings. There's this lot, too: http://www.ratmbc.co.uk/ And this might be of interest as well: http://www.gorrick.com/index.html Have fun!

PS X-posted to uk.rec.cycling My daughter goes MTBing with a group of people from AWE at Reading on Saturdays and Sundays. Not sure where they ride to/from, but they are about 5hr rides, some easy/medium pace others hard pace. I can find more info if you want to email me |

Nice people, see http://www.readingctc.co.uk. Meeting place is the fountain by Caversham Bridge, behind the Holiday Inn. Look for Alan Furley's memorial bench. Rides on Wednesday evenings during BST and every Sunday, unless it's changed recently. I would have thought The Lookout, south of Bracknell, would be a good place to meet fellow off-roaders. There are always plenty there on the weekend and summer evenings. Fun for all the family, plenty of easy trails and some more challenging singletrack, but not quite the Welsh mountains ;-) A reasonable coffee shop, too. You have to pay a permit fee for your bike, the day pass is not cheap (can't remember exactly) but if you go a lot the annual pass is much better value. There's this lot, too: http://www.ratmbc.co.uk/ I often see the Ratz out and about. They ride up near Checkendon and around South Oxfordshire.
