#GetOutMore this April!
This event is one of loads of events taking place over the same weekend! Check out all the events over the weekend of 4-6 April 2025: OutdoorLads.events/APR25. Great for new and regular members!
Two cities, three rivers, four parks — and one laid-back group of OutdoorLads on wheels. We’ll cruise through scenic spots and hidden gems at a sociable 8–10 mph, with plenty of chances to stop, chat, and soak it all in. Expect a few gentle climbs (walk ’em if you like) and surfaces to suit any bike. Come for the views, stay for the company — and a brew if you fancy one.
