Do you have an E bike?

(we regret due to the ill health of the group leaders there are no formal rides at present - though some members are venturing out on their own)

Would you like to use it more, but you’re not confident or you don’t know the local roads?

Perhaps you don’t like cycling alone and would enjoy cycling with a group of likeminded people?

Well here is some great news:
U3A Dénia has a friendly cycling group – known on WhatsApp as the Mothers Cycling Group: Acronym for “Mostly Over The Hill Elderly Riders”

The aim is to avoid main roads wherever possible and to choose the most scenic routes available. All rides involve coffee stops, camera stops, lots of chat and quite a lot of humour.

Wednesday: is aimed at those riders who enjoy more of a challenging ride. The distances vary between 50 -70 km and can involve one or more fairly hard climbs. (Don’t forget for every ‘up’ there is a ‘down’!) It is more suited to those with Electric Bikes. Though we have had some road bike riders with a good level of fitness.

The average pace is generally around 20km per hour mark. This is not a superfast ‘Racing’ pace. The ‘downs’ help compensate for the ‘ups’! We are, at the end of the day, a cycle touring club, out there to enjoy the scenery and camaraderie of being on a bike with all the health benefits that can bring. Again, stops are included.

We meet at the Picnic Area on the Via Verde. (at the junction with the Assagador del Palmar)

Summer: Meet at 08:30
Winter: Meet at 09:30

We are still on Winter hours – this gives things a chance to warm up before we leave.

We live in a beautiful area which has lots more than just the beach to offer – The country roads are very easy to navigate on a bike. You will be amazed at how much more you see than driving around the countryside in a car. We look forward to welcoming you.
