Cycling on your own is excellent, but being part of a cycling club can enhance your skills and your social life.
The accumulated years of know-how and expertise within any given cycling club can be huge, and the knowledge you can pick up from existing riders about technique, equipment, routes and cafes is invaluable.
We are lucky to have fabulous cycling opportunities and clubs in our area. If you are thinking of taking your cycling to the next level, why not get in touch with one of our local cycling clubs?
Marlow Riders
Marlow Riders is an inclusive club, with something for most levels of cyclist (subject to a minimum level of fitness ), and about a third of our members are female. Our ethos is Cycling for All, no-one gets left behind on our rides, and there’s usually a coffee and cake stop, or a beer at the end!
Our main club rides are on Saturday mornings, and in the summer, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
