Go-Ride Racing is for any rider under 16 who wants to burn some energy on a bike while developing their skills and making new friends.

Events take place across the country, organised by a network of over 350 Go-Ride Clubs (cycling clubs for kids) and British Cycling's Go-Ride Coaches. They are also social get-togethers within your community, with activities appropriate for riders at different stages and a firm focus on fun.

Expect beginner-friendly formats where almost all bikes are welcome and prizes awarded as riders progress and gain confidence. To get started, visit our event finder and type in your location to see what's going on nearby.
