Easy Social Rides
Pedal Power Easy Social Rides are designed for less experienced riders and those returning to cycling or anyone lacking confidence riding in a group. All rides aim to stay within an average pace of 15-18km/h and be around 20 km long.
All rides are conducted by an accredited social ride leader and they will have an end rider. Depending on the experience and capabilities of the group, the ride may have regrouping stops along the way.
At the end of the ride, enjoy a café stop with your fellow riders!
The Easy Social Rides span many different routes across Canberra. See all the details here.
