Welcome to Walden Velo
Our club is about about cycling together and enjoying the company we keep.
We roll out every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday morning, and whether you're a novice or an expert, there's always someone to share time on the bike with. After all, it's what we like doing!
Founded in 2012 by five cyclists, we just want to enjoy the sport with other riders.
Ride Library
We are building up a library of rides that we will use throughout the year, with links to the routes in GarminConnect and RideWithGPS, plus downloads for the GPX and TCX files.

2019 Season
We are now running our Winter ride schedule again.
Sunday ride Winter structure
Our Sunday morning club rides change for the winter to take into account the darker mornings and change in pace required for safe riding when road conditions can be less than ideal.
We put out four rides starting at 8.30am from the Market Square.
See Winter Rides for more details on the structure, and the Sunday Ride Schedule for an up-to-date view of upcoming Sunday rides.
Wednesday mornings
Mid-week club ride, leaving the Market Square at 9.15am.
Fridays mornings
Mid-week club ride, leaving the Market Square at 9.15am.
