We are pleased to announce that we will be resuming our ride program this month with the return of the July Social(ly Distant) ride. Having reviewed the latest guidelines from both Cycling UK and British Cycling, we are positive we can offer a safe return to group riding – please refer to our updated ride participant guidelines. We will be starting off slowly with shorter rides, that at this time won’t include a coffee stop, and a maximum six participants. We will try to add subsequent rides where possible and ride as separate groups of six, riding 10-15 mins apart.Cycle Evesham Vale (CEV) was founded in January 2015 by a group of local cyclists, who all share the same passions: to encourage more people to cycle and make the Vale of Evesham the best location it can be for cycling. It’s a beautiful location and a stepping stone in to the Cotswolds, the Malvern Hills or even across to Stratford-on-Avon via the Greenway. Led by volunteers with great local knowledge we can help you wherever you are on YOUR cycling journey – offering training, free monthly social rides, Cyclefest – an annual sportive and mountain bike event, and of course the location of all the best coffee stops!
