This is a group for people who enjoy cycling. We meet once a month on the second Wednesday morning of the month. Rides will usually start around 9:30/10.00am and we aim to finish around lunchtime.

Join us on a monthly cycle ride on pre-planned road route. Each ride includes a break at a cycle-friendly cafe before the homeward journey.

The basic requirements to join the group are: a road-safe cycle, helmet, and suitable clothing.

If you would like any more information or to express an interest in joining the group, please click on one of the email links above to send a message to the group leader, Jane Kent.

Details of SCG2 Ride on Wednesday, 14th October 2026

Six cyclists set off in bright sunshine from The Hollows carpark on Stapenhill Road. We cycled via Rosliston, Catton, The Sittles to Cafe 8 in Fradley. Two other cyclists from our Group were already at the cafe to welcome us and were enjoying the sunshine and their drinks. We received a warm welcome and prompt service from the staff; well worth the slightly longer ride out to Fradley. On the return, one cyclist returned home to Yoxall separately while Jayne showed us a different way back to Alrewas. One by one cyclists dropped off on the route home via Alrewas, Croxall, Edingale, Coton-in-the-Elms, Rosliston and back to Stapenhill. Three of us finished back at The Hollows. There are no photos from the ride - we were all too busy chatting and enjoying ourselves in the sunshine and forgot to take any.

Our next ride will be on Wednesday, 11th November 2026 - details to be advised later.

Below, is map of the route shown from Ride Leader's home (33 miles). Return ride from The Hollows Car Park was 27 miles.
