KDCS – The Kendal & District Cycle Scene

Our Easy Tuesday rides start again tomorrow (Tuesday 1 May) and run throughout the summer. Please tell all your fairweather cycling friends to put some lube on those cycle chains and come along to start their cycling season with an easy run out. You can download the schedule up to the end of June from our Rides page now.

South Lakes Action on Climate Change are working on a project to increase cycling in Kendal town centre, with some funding from South Lakeland District Council, with a view to improving air quality in the town. If you’d like to help them do it, you can read more about it on our blog.

Thanks to Andrew and Peter for an entertaining talk on their Irish End to End in February. Later in the year we’re also hoping to organise a weekend social at Lumley Fee (next to Helsington Church). If you’d like to help in some way, please email jo@jamie-macdonald.com.

Don’t forget that...Freewheelers are now running a series of maintenance courses at their new workshop in Lancaster. To check the programme and book a course click here....ATOG is the group campaigning for a path/cycleway alongside the railway viaduct from Arnside To Grange. To join the ATOG mailing list and get updates as things develop, email atog2011@talktalk.net.

Our current road cycling rides list (January to June) is available to download on our Rides page. These are free group rides from 25 to 60 miles in length, mainly starting from Kendal but also from places as far afield as Ulverston and Crook o’ Lune. There’s also a list of our MTB rides to the end of April that you can download from the same page. The more, the merrier.
