Welcome to Chiltern Society homepage, who are an affiliated group of CyclingUK
The Chiltern Society has three cycling groups, each meeting once a week on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Rides tend to start around 10am, with morning only rides finishing at a pub during the winter months but normally extending into the afternoon when the daylight hours are longer.
All riders must be 14 years of age or older and ride at their own risk. Younger riders must be accompanied by an adult. We strongly recommend bringing something to drink, wearing a helmet and ‘high-vis’ clothing and carrying a mobile phone and first aid supplies on all rides.
The Thursday group is open to all and is the ideal way to start cycling in the Chilterns regardless of experience. Rides are of a laid back nature, taken at a fairly leisurely pace, and cater for a wide range of riders. They are usually about 20 – 25 miles although short cuts are available for those wanting to ride a bit less. This group aims to avoid main roads, finding quieter lanes with occasional off-road sections during the drier months.
The Tuesday group is made up of more experienced cyclists who prefer cross-country and bridleway cycling. A large part of most rides is off road and of a more demanding nature.
Entry is through the Thursday group and then by invitation.
The Monday group is made up of more experienced cyclists who want to take part in slightly longer rides than those offered by the Thursday group.
Entry is through the Thursday group and then by invitation.
