Family Friendly Fun
Summer 2022 – All our rides are run at a gentle pace and use quiet roads and cycle paths and should be suitable for cyclists of all ages. Join us on Sundays at 2pm throughout July and August, starting from Nithsdale Rowing Club. Perfect for beginners and families!
It’s no longer essential, but it helps us with managing numbers if you book in advance.
Meet at Nithsdale Rowing Club for a 2pm start. All our rides are run at a gentle pace and use quiet roads and cycle paths and should be suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities.

If you do book and find you can’t attend, please let us know in advance (either by cancelling your booking online, or emailing cyclingdumfries@gmail.com) so we can give your place to someone else – our more popular rides have had to have a waiting list!
If you’re looking for longer rides (still within the local area), then all of the routes we’ve ridden over the past years are listed on our ride routes page. We also run monthly Curiosity Rides throughout the year.

Is anything known yet about the 2015 Lockerbie Loop? I know this is always a ‘late in the day’ event, but I hope to be in the area and able to ride it. I’ve tried the old Lockerbie Loop gmail address but no success. Many thanks.
Hi Mike, it’s not really anything we’re involved in, but according to the poster we saw on FB it’s on June 21st – if you’re on Facebook it’s posted on our page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cycling-Dumfries/194445097269379
