Community Cycling Groups (in collaboration with Wensleydale Fitness, Askrigg)

We deliver two childrens Saturday cycling clubs between March and October. The club is divided into an under 10s group based on a traffic free area and an over 10s group who follow local trails. Both groups enjoy the opportunity to participate in away days.
