Team Glow is a women's cycling group and network. Our aim is to bring women together and get out riding our bikes! We cater for everyone from novices through to more experienced riders, aspiring racers through to happy tourers. We mainly ride road bikes but some of our members also do mountain biking,

Our basic ride format looks like this ( either Saturday or Sunday):
- A Group rides the first weekend of the month - 'Beginner Glow' rides of 15 - 25 miles at about 10 mph
- B Group rides the second weekend of the month - 30 - 40 miles building up distance rather than speed of 10 - 12mph
- C Group rides the third weekend of the month - 50+ miles building up distance and speed of 12 - 14mph
- D Group rides the fourth weekend of the month 50-70+ miles building up longer distance and higher speed of 14 + mph
We also have our very own stylish glow kit! This includes shorts as well as jerseys. We are also affiliated to the Cycling Time Trials Association.
