Cycle rides

The Cambridge group of the CTC continue to organise a full programme of rides throughout the winter months (weather permitting), with rides every Tuesday and Thursday and with two rides on Sundays. Rides are shorter to reflect the reduced hours of daylight. Note there are no Saturday morning rides in winter. See http://site.ctc-cambridge.org.uk/search/label/ourridesprogramme for details with links to the lists of forthcoming rides.
