Stroud Chain Gang

The lanes around Stroud are the playground for the Stroud Chain Gang, a cycling club where the emphasis is firmly on enjoyment. Forget cutthroat racing and intense training schedules; this is a group that values camaraderie and the simple pleasure of riding bikes with friends. It's a place where shared suffering on a climb is rewarded with laughter and a post ride beverage.

The club's origin story is simple. It began with a conversation about Strava segments over tea. Now, members can easily compare segment times on their rides, adding a friendly competitive element to their outings. This encourages riders to push themselves while remaining social and supportive.

The Stroud Chain Gang is all about connecting with other cyclists in the Stroud area. If you are looking for a relaxed and welcoming group to explore the Cotswolds with, consider joining. It's a great way to discover new routes and improve your cycling, all in good company.
