Leven Cyling Founder _ Michael Porter2

I have learnt a lot over my years of cycling. Personally, I have always felt safer in a group. With this in mind in 2022 I took the British cycling team leader course level 1 and basic First Aid.

Following this I founded Leven Cycling group. As part of riding in a group we can offer support e.g. when a cyclist breaks down.

I enjoy meeting and helping people, facilitating riders of mixed abilities to fully participate and enjoy group riding.

 

Our ride leaders are all very experienced and trained. 

I have done several fund raising rides for charity. One of these was The Way of the Roses coast to coast . The ride was certainly a challenge! I personally managed to raise over a thousand pounds. 

Ride Leaders

Our ride leaders have years of experience cycling.  They volunteer to help lead the rides, ensuring everyone stays safe and enjoys themselves, no one is left behind.

Yes there is but 9/10 cycling routes are on countryside roads over a 100 mile radius.  We do offer a welcome group on a  6 mile cycling path at Tickton, helping to  build up your confidence. 

3. Do you offer cycling throughout the year?

Yes we do and we always check the weather to ensure our Cycling is enjoyable and relaxing for everyone. Safety is always our top priority.

4, Each week you set up routes over 20 miles? 

These routes are flat cycling at an easy steady pace, as long you are fit, chatting away with cycling friends then you will realise how quickly the miles whizz by.  We do stop for coffee and a chat on our cycling route each week.
