The cycling group is one of the many groups in the Basingstoke-Old Basing U3A of which you must be a current member to join the rides. The group started in May 2013 initially with 4 riders on an easy 12 mile loop along the Basingstoke canal. The rides were monthly at the start but over time these have increased to twice and sometimes three times a week. The intention of the cycling group is to enjoy social rides, with a break for refreshments and chat, where possible in the middle of the ride. We also have longer multi-day rides each year, details of which can be found in the blog below or under Past Rides in the top menu.
