Saturday rides are where the Farcycles started out as a group. We meet in the Market Place in Faringdon on Saturday mornings to enjoy a choice of rides depending on your ability. Rides are split into three distances; 25 miles, 40 miles and 60 miles. These distances vary through the year but the rides are all managed by a Host to ensure no one is left behind.

As we endeavour to encourage as many people as possible to make cycling part of their lives, we offer courses for cyclists who haven’t been out on the road for a while, perhaps many years, and would just like someone to support them in building up their confidence before venturing out on their own.

Cycling is for everyone of all ages. It is great for your mental health and well-being. It is an extremely social activity and families are encouraged to ride together and make the most of the surrounding countryside. We offer supported rides to take families on short loops, around 15 miles, to show them safe and quiet places to ride together.

During July each year, the Farcycles team organise an annual sportive around the Cotswold countryside. There are three routes of differing length and elevation depending upon your experience. This is not a race and is designed for riders to push themselves or just take it easy.
