Kings Lynn & West Norfolk Bike Users Group

This group was set up to campaign for better cycling facilities. We still do that but we prefer going on rides to sitting in council offices. With such easy access to the countryside can you blame us. It only takes 10 minutes to cycle from the town centre to the countryside. Rides and socials rides normally start at 10 am at Lynnsport. Rides vary from a few miles round town to longer trips of 40 miles plus. Fear not, it is NOT a race. The pace is that of the slowest and stops are as frequent as necessary (or when thirsty!). We normally have a social meeting once a month at 8 pm on the second Thursday of each month. This takes place at the Ouse Amateur Sailing Club bar in Ferry Lane, a lane just off King Street, King's Lynn.
