For Exeter Joy Rides, Click Here.
Joy Rides are relaxed, social bike rides for anyone who wants to get out on two wheels. Each ride is led by one of our friendly, British Cycling trained ride leaders. The routes are designed to be easy and low traffic. Rides last around two hours, including the briefing and wrap-up. The pace is nice and easy, no one is left behind, and suitable for any bike.
Although not required, we encourage riders to wear a helmet. Please dress for the weather, and ensure your bike is in a road worthy condition. In adverse weather, we may cancel or cut short the ride at short notice so please check ahead (we will email you if this is the case). Each ride departs at 10.30am – arrival is from 10.20am.
The Joy Rides are open to adults.
Joy Rides are a partnership between Ride On, Exeter City Community Trust and Wellbeing Exeter and made possible due to funding from Exmouth Council and Sport England’s Movement Fund.
