You asked - we delivered. A FREE basic road side maintenance session at Moredon Sports Hub on Wednesday the 10th June at 18:30hrs. Meet by the cycle track (will use indoor setting if raining). The event is only possible due to the continued support from the Moredon Sporting Hub, Swindon Cycles, Mitchell Cycles Swindon Travel Choicesand the Swindon Race Group. We will have several qualified mechanics, including our own Lewis Lawton to take you through road side repairs. We encourage you to bring your own bike as this is a very hands on session (we will provide rubber gloves), where you will learn to repair your own bike under the guidance of the mechanics. Please reserve your place by signing up at: https://www.letsride.co.uk/rides/couch-to-100-maintenance-session

On what was probably the hottest day of the year so far in Swindon, a group of 31 cyclists set off from the Moredon Sporting Hub on week 6 of this year’s Couch to 100km in 10 weeks challenge. The ride saw the group cycling out to towards the Cotswolds Water Park, before heading east to Fairford for a welcomed rest stop. A big shout out for the Magic Beans Cafe for looking after our large group so efficiently - we hope to see you again before we complete the challenge. The return route saw the groups circumnavigate RAF Fairford, where the cheers and support from the plane spotters was appreciated.

Its still not too late to join us as we move closer to completing the 100km challenge this year. Sign up for next weeks ride is at https://www.letsride.co.uk/rides/week-1-couch-to-100km-challenge-2026-6

We are asking for help from the magnificent Swindon cycling community.
The Swindon Lets Ride and the Breeze network Swindon (women only cycling group) are currently experiencing a great problem to have – we are seeing more and more riders requesting to participate in our group cycling events. Sometimes we are unable to accommodate all the riders! The riders are future club members.
Many of the riders are new to group riding and do not have any specific cycle clothing. We are asking if any of the greater Swindon cycling community have any surplus cycle clothing that they are willing to donate to our new riders. We are looking for all shapes and sizes, including women’s clothing. If you are able to assist, please message me or email [email protected], where we can arrange collection and redistribution of your donation.
Thank you in advance for any contribution you can make to assisting new riders setting out on their cycling adventures.
