STOP PRESS: The Isis Cyclists’ Cycle Maintenance Course: register now for the three-part course on 13, 20 and 27 February! Click here for all details.
Isis Cyclists CTC run short bike rides for women in Oxford with the aim of encouraging non-cyclists to get back on their bikes and commuters to enjoy leisure cycling – all as a step towards health, having fun and meeting new people. Rides are led by experienced and knowledgeable members of the CTC and use the best of the city’s cycle paths and quiet lanes, heading towards greenery wherever possible.
Rides of 5-10 miles take place on the first Saturday of each month, and longer rides of 15-20 miles on the third Saturday. Most rides begin at 10am, and from various points around the city (Carfax, Summertown, Marston, Cowley etc). In addition to these regular rides, we also run ‘impromptus’ – such as evening jaunts, mixed socials (when you can bring male friends and family along), longer rides which link up with the Oxford City CTC group, and charity rides.
There is no charge and rides are taken at a gentle pace to maintain group cohesion. Any bike will do as long as it’s roadworthy! Just pump up your tyres, and bring a drink and a spare inner tube (in case of a puncture which we can help to fix). The CTC offers some practical advice on cycling with a group in this leaflet.
The results of the Isis Cyclists summer survey are now available to read here.
Individual rides are announced in advance via the mailing list. To register for the mailing list please email isiscyclistsctc@gmail.com. The group also has a page on www.facebook.com.
Isis Cyclists CTC is an informal member group of the CTC (Cyclists’ Touring Club).
