ABOUT THE DA

We find that the advantages of such an arrangement are, firstly that it does not require a leader with the responsibility of looking after the group. Secondly, there are no prearranged starting times or departure points. You can set off at whatever time you like. Thirdly, you do not have to follow someone else's route. You can choose your own. to suit your own tastes and degree of fitness. So, you are pretty well free to arrange your own ride but knowing that at lunch time you can meet up with friends and companions and, if you wish, enjoy a relaxing ride home together So, we look forward to seeing you at the RENDEZVOUS. You will be made very welcome.

Besides our Saturday rendezvous rides, we have the odd social or special event plus Monthly Sunday Rides, which have a relaxed route. An ideal way of meeting members of our cycling club. We also have one small club hut which can be used by members from our own and other DA's. We are part of the national C.T.C (Cyclists Touring Club) which has been in existence for over l00 years and has over 44,000 members. This offers much wider benefits such as third party insurance free Legal aid, cycle insurance schemes, bimonthly magazine, club shop, technical department and national cycle events.

The C.T.C. also campaigns at local and national level to help promote facilities for cyclists.
