Active community volunteering – Ride leader (Stockton)

Description


Leading group cycle rides in your community is a great way to get more people active. We would like more people to enjoy the freedom that cycling can bring. There are also the added health and wellbeing benefits of being active on everyday journeys.

We make sure that any rides in Stockton-on-Tees are organised to suit the ability of the group joining. We do not run rides in extremely remote locations or on challenging trails.
