| Godalming Cycle Campaign is a small group who aim to encourage non-motorised forms of transport by promoting awareness of the bicycle. We believe that many people who would use a bicycle for journeys of up to a few miles are discouraged by the need to share narrow roads with fast motorised traffic, and we exist to put forward alternative transport strategies - as well as showing that bicycles are great fun.

We meet at the Friends Meeting House in Mill Lane, Godalming (near the station) on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.45 pm for two hours or so. If you're interested in promoting cycle use around Godalming, please come along. There is usually the temptation to visit the pub afterwards... but please read the following as well:

There's a change in this timing just for June 2009. The Cycle Campaign meeting will be a week later on Tuesday 9 June 2009 at 7.45pm. All the same good stuff - just a week later. The reason is that The Tour is coming to Woking and many people will be going to watch the excitement - hope to see you there.

Saturday 13 June 2009: We're organising an easy, family-friendly and free ride to the Camping Barn at Puttenham as part of Bike Week. The barn is a wonderful example of how an old building can be imaginatively restored and put to good use. The cycle ride leaves Crown Court in Godalming at 11am, and uses mostly quiet roads and bridleways on the way to Puttenham. There'll be hot and cold drinks available and plenty of space to eat a picnic. We expect to arrive back in Godalming by about 3pm.

We're normally not very good at organising local rides, but we can suggest you have a look at the website of The Velo Club Godalming + Haslemere (VCGH), who organise a regular series of cycle rides with styles from easy to challenging. Also take a look at the local group of the CTC, the UK's national cyclists' organisation, who organise a series of rides on Sundays and Wednesdays.
