Cycling in South Bucks

Cycling with CTC South Bucks – Where do I begin?

So you have found our web page – you must be just a bit interested in cycling.
Now where can I go from here?
Are the South Bucks all great athletes?
Will I look stupid on my old bike?
You must have lots of questions if you are new to cycling.

The South Bucks welcomes all cyclists who want to have a go at our chosen pastime. We have rides for almost anyone who can pedal. When you ride in company the miles fly by and if you’re a bit tired at the end of a ride, it is the sort of tiredness that gives you a good appetite and a sound night’s sleep.

First look at our website and the details of our four sections. Aylesbury, Chiltern Hills and Windsor & District are roughly based on areas, but you could try any of them. The Midweek section has four rides to suit all abilities and starting in many different places, whilst the Windsor Section has a Wednesday ride as well. See our rides lists. If a ride appeals to you, contact the secretary of the section (or just turn up a few minutes before the start). They will be able to advise on distance and difficulty. The Windsor Section have monthly rides for Beginners in summer.

Are you worried about what to wear or the type of bike you ride? Wear what you find comfortable, carry a waterproof in your bag if it looks like rain. If your bike is mechanically sound, it will do to start with. Most of us have graduated to a better machine eventually as we have realised how much we enjoy cycling.

Above all, please get in touch and give club riding a try!
