Our Friday Rides are suspended for Lockdown during November. Join the What’s App group to join the chat, and virtual rides during lockdown.
#FridayRideday
As the name says, we ride every Friday.
We have two start times: 08h30 and 10h00. There is no difference in the groups, other than the start time.
Our group is everything from nervous novices to very experienced. We generally break into groups of similar ability on the morning, to make sure everyone is comfortable and doesn’t get left behind. Going forward, this will be a group of 6, to ensure we can still manage social distancing. If someone in the group punctures, the whole group stops and mucks in. If you don’t know how to change a tube, at least make sure you have the supplies (spare tube, tyre levers, CO2 cartridge and/or pump.
You are welcome to join the What’s app group, using the QR code (simply take a photo of it with your iphone or scan it with a QR code reader app)
It’s a sociable space and a friendly and welcoming group. Every Wednesday, we send out the route plan (distance, climbing, start point, coffee stop etc). At that stage, let us know on the group if you are joining us. You also need to join the Bia Cycling Club on Strava (no charge) and download the route for the week to make sure you have it to follow.
If you’re fairly new, join our “Charlie’s Angels” group – Charlie will settle you in, get you confident on the road, and in a group, explain some road etiquette and generally be amazing. Once you’re confident, you are then more than welcome to join the other groups.
If you ride with us, and join the conversation more regularly, you are encouraged to join the Bia Cycling Club. For £89, you get a club jersey, water bottle, free personalised Ice ID and an organised ride AT LEAST every week of the year, if not more! We have fun activities planned, and you always get first bite at the cherry.
Anything else concerning you? Let us know.

Charlie's Angels
A career public servant, Charlie’s service to the community hasn’t ended upon her retirement from decades with the Thames Valley Police. Having joined the Police at the tender age of 19, with an aim to serve and protect, Charlie enjoyed the team aspect of her day to day service.
May this year brought about Charlie’s retirement from the force, freeing up some time to spend doing something else she loves: riding her bike.
Fondly known as “Charlie Charlie”, her warm, supportive and caring nature has positioned Charlie perfectly for her new role in welcoming ‘newbies’ and novices to the Bia #FridayRidedays. There is no such thing as a ‘stupid question’ and Charlie’s gentle way makes ladies feel very welcome and comfortable in joining the crew.
