About Us

Over the years Treads Cycle Club has gathered a vast knowledge of exciting, fun and challenging cycle rides throughout Northamptonshire. Years of local riding experience have shaped a collection of carefully chosen rides that showcase the variety, scenery and character of the area, offering something new whether you are building confidence or looking for your next adventure.
 

What to expect

We offer regular local road and off-road bike rides to suit all, including local night mountain bike rides. For those that want to, we also have regular adventures in both the UK and abroad. Our aim is to offer any new member a warm and friendly atmosphere and a fun ride whilst increasing your enjoyment of the sport that we all love. We will always tailor each ride depending upon the ability of the turnout. You can ride with us for 2 or 3 taster rides before committing to join the club – our membership fee is really good value for money and has many benefits outside of the club, too!

So, whether you are looking to discover new cycling routes, make new riding buddies, get started on the road to racing, or simply increase your fitness levels and have fun, we want to support you and encourage you to join the club.

Beginner rides

Beginner rides are every 2nd weekend of the month but are subject to rider numbers. If you are a complete beginner there is a chance the distance of the usual weekly rides will be too much for your first ride, but to give you an idea we generally ride between 13-16mph depending on the groups (A, B or B/C). If you are a beginner then the easier rides are a good place to start, or simply join us for part of a ride to get a feel for our pace.
