iCycle Gravel Rides
With the onset of the wintery weather and adverse road conditions there has been an enthusiasm to go off road onto the gravel.



This is thanks to the efforts of iCycle member Dave Munday. Dave has kindly started mapping and posting some gravel rides which are posted on the iCycle Cycling Information WhatsApp group. If you are not already on this group, you can access via ‘WhatsApp Groups’ heading on the ‘New Members’ page.
These are usually on a Friday and currently linked to the Flamme Rouge cycle shop on Bromham Road, Bedford. This is the current start and finish point. You are welcome to join the ride. The expectation is you can ride 30-40 miles off road at a pace of around 13-14mph. You will need a gravel or Mountain bike equipped with suitable tyres. You will need to sign up on the Flamme Rouge Ride sign-up page.At present most of the participants are iCycle members.
On occasions, if the weather is poor iCycle road rides may be changed to off road. If you are a current iCycle member watch out for any postings on the iCycle Cycling Information WhatsApp Group.
If you are reading this as a non-member, are a gravel fan and would like to join in the fun, we would love to have you join us. Please sign up for a 3 month FREE trial.
