Group Rides

Group Rides (members only):

On joining LBOYB, each cyclist is allocated to a group based on her cycle skill level and endurance so as not to be neither bored nor intimidated.  She then will be able to enjoy social, as well as organised bike rides with women of similar riding standard.

In this way, you will not only make progress with your cycling skills but meet other incredible women along the way.

LBOYB therefore, through the standards/levels, caters for group rides for both the confident rider and the non confident rider.
