Welcome to the MKu3a Free Wheelers cycle group web page.
We are a friendly group who enjoy getting out in the fresh air and countryside for a little exercise.
The routes
We tour mostly on quiet roads through villages around Milton Keynes and enjoy rides to such places as Harrold Country Park, Stowe, The Forest Centre at Marston Moretaine, Salcey Forest and Buckingham. Our rides can be between 20 and 35 miles with a good refreshment break at a cafe/tea shop in the middle.
The speed
We average about 8 miles an hour when there are hills involved and cycle at about 11 or 12 miles an hour on the flat.
Basically, we pedal towards a café and enjoy coffee, cake … and good chat before returning home!
Leaders
Our rides are led by different members of the group – which ensures plenty of variety. All offers to lead a ride are very welcome. We try and plan the rides a month ahead.
When
On the first and third Tuesday of the month with a starting time of 9.30.
Safety
Your attendance will indicate your acceptance of any risks associated with cycling. All bikes must be roadworthy and there is an expectation that all cyclists will be wearing helmets.
