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 our extensive programme of guided rides we put on a Wonders of  Wakefield (WoW) ride every month. 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.

This year’s AGM is reverting to the more standard format and will be taking place on Thursday 31st July at 6.30pm at a new venue, The Studio at Thornes Park Stadium, 101 Thornes Road, Wakefield WF2 8QD.  Parking, tea and coffee will be free.  Members should be receiving details of the agenda shortly. We hope that we’ll get a good turn out and perhaps some new volunteers for the posts available and ideas for future priorities.
