Wakefield District Cycle Forum

Wakefield District Cycle Forum is not your usual cycle club – WDCF is much more than that.

cycling is good for you, the environment, and it's fun

Want to ride?

We introduce new or rusty riders to the fun of cycling, with a programme of graded guided rides. Start with easy, largely off-road trails, progress through longer rides and then try our strenuous road rides with further to travel before the first essential refreshment stop. 

As part of Wakefield MDC’s Our Year, we’re putting on a Wonders of  Wakefield (WoW) ride every month in 2024. It’s a 21 mile circular route, largely off road, with some steep hills.  If you’re WoW ready, check our Rides and Events page for the next WoW. 

No-one gets left behind and you will get guidance before you start to help you judge whether you’re ready for the challenge.

Latest News

We are pleased to announce that our website is now up and running and the latest Summer newsletter is available on our Newsletters page.

It has been agreed that we will use our Wonders of Wakefield ride on the 6thOctober to commemorate our colleague Bob Newton, who died last October after a short illness. Bob spent his final days in the Prince of Wales Hospice Pontefract and his family are grateful for the love and support the whole family received there.

Those riding the WoW on that day will be asked to make a donation to the hospice in Bob’s name, so please bring some spare cash or a credit or debit card.  We hope the ride will be a credit to him.
