Insurance; Please note that participation in all U3A events is at the participant's own risk, as we do not provide insurance for event participants.  We do have third party insurance cover in place which covers any claims made against us by others.
Please bring your Catsalut or EHIC card, and details of any private health insurance policy you may hold."

Venue: We meet to cycle off at different places decided by the event organiser.
                Details of each ride are notified at least 7 days in advance.

Meeting Exceptions:
            Traditionally in July the U3A Cycle Groups do their rides and then meet up for a BBQ & pool party.
                 In December each cycle group does a festive cycle followed by a joint celebratory meal.
                 NO meetings in August.

Safety & consideration for our members:
             For their own safety all u3a Cyclists are asked to wear helmets.
               Within our group we inevitably have a wide range of age & cycling ability.
                Experienced cyclists, post retirement members who cycle for pleasure,
               experienced e-bike cyclists & some who have recently acquired e-bikes.
               We are also delighted to welcome members of other U3A cycling groups to join us on our rides.

               ALL are welcome, we simply ask that everyone appreciates the range of age & ability within our members                therefore we cycle at a 'Pleasurable Pace' (that of our non e-bike colleagues)
              We ask that even though individuals may be capable of cycling faster that the group stay behind the leader. 
              On the rare occasion that routes take us on short stretches of busy roads, we cycle in groups of 5 or 6                     leaving a  space of 2 car lengths between each cycle group.
              To ensure we all 'follow the correct route' at each turn off, the leader will ask a member to remain on the
              corner until all the group have passed. 

            Please note that  Cycling for Pleasure cover up to Level 5 routes.

                Up to 2020 the group used to meet twice a month.
             With the growing numbers of E-bike members it was decided to have
               one Cycling for Pleasure and 2 E-Bike events per month.

 Our friendly group's aims are:
