iCycle Gravel Rides

We do not run regular off road rides, but when the mood takes us or when wintery weather or adverse road conditions there may be enthusiasm to go off road onto the gravel. There are fantastic routes around Bedfordshire and surrounding counties to enjoy.

 

This is thanks to the efforts of iCycle member Dave Munday. Dave will post gravel rides  during  the preceding week on the Events calendar and appropriate ride WhatsApp group. You can access via ‘WhatsApp Groups’ heading on the ‘New Members’ page.

These are usually on a Friday. The start and finish point will vary depending on the direction of the ride, but will be stated on the ride posting. You are welcome to join the ride. The expectation is you can ride 30-40 miles off road at a pace of around 13-14mph. You will need a gravel or mountain bike equipped with suitable tyres. 

On occasions, if the weather is poor iCycle road rides may be changed to off road at late notice. If you are a current iCycle member watch out for any postings on the iCycle Cycling Information WhatsApp Group.

If you are reading this as a non-member, are a gravel fan and would like to join in the fun, we would love to have you join us. Please sign up for a 3 month FREE trial.
