Summer of Cycling in MK!
–Lots of free, fun activities throughout the summer
-Training and rides for all ages and abilities
If you’ve been inspired by the recent success of Chris Froome in the Tour de France there’s plenty of cycling activities and training coming up over the next few weeks.
Whatever age or ability there are free guided rides available to join to get back in the saddle, build up your confidence on a bike or just simply to meet other cyclists and enjoy riding around cycle routes that take in MK’s Redways, countryside and attractions.
There are regular activities every week including free Ladies Only Rides, Family Rides, Health Rides around MK plus free family cycle training and adult cycle training (Bikeability Level 2 – basic cycling skills)
