Stokes Cycling Club (SCC) is a cycling group set up for people and families to enjoy organised cycling rides in and around the Five Stokes for the purpose of pleasure and enjoyment.
There are rides for most abilities: From family rides of 6 miles through to longer rides over 40 miles. All our rides usually start and finish at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre.
Children are welcome but we ask that they are able to ride a bike and their parents accompany them. All family rides and most medium ones will be suitable for beginners, as long as you are confident in riding a bike and you must accept that you cycle at your own risk.

2012 EASTER BUNNY RIDE SUCCESS!
Wow, what a day! With no less than one hundred and thirty eight participants, this year’s Treasure Hunt was beyond everyone’s expectations and the helpers finished the day tired but happy, with everyone enjoying themselves.
Event manager and Stokes Cycling Club Chairman, Bryan Huish, said “This was a great event, with lots more people than we expected, and everybody ticked the box on the feedback form for “it was a lot of fun” so it was all worth it. We’d like to thank everyone for making this day a success, especially South Gloucestershire Council, the Travel Roadshow team and BikeFix Bradley Stoke. ”
There was a constant stream of people queuing to register, pick up the freebies kindly supplied by South Gloucestershire Council, and to get their bikes checked by BikeFix Bradley Stoke mechanic Richard Burton, ably supported by club members.
The club designed the route to be family friendly for even the teeniest of cyclists, with a two part figure of eight course. Some people got so involved that they went back several times to check for clues that they’d missed, but most just had a good bike ride on local paths and had fun trying to spot clues on the way.
The event was deemed a complete success and a fine example of partnership working between the local authority and cycling club.
