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.
