Stay active this weekend with a group bike ride starting in the heart of Oakham, feel the love at Rutland Showground Wedding Fayre, or head into the centre of Leicester to catch the end of the iconic Leicester Comedy Festival.

1. Late February Social Ride

On Saturday the 19th of February at 9:00am, Sigma Sports of Oakham are running their Late February Social Ride to get you out and about on two wheels meeting new people. There will be a faster group travelling at approximately 15 – 18 mph which is ideal for those who are looking for a simple, social ride but still get home in time for lunch. Group two will average 12-14mph, which is perfect for anyone new to the sport, or even for those who have been riding for a while but haven't ridden in a group before and would like to gain a bit more experience. Both groups one and two will cover the same 48.8 kilometre route, which will head north out from the Sigma Sports Oakham store, heading through Whissendine before looping east to Wymondham. From there the ride heads to Sewstem and then begins the return leg to the store via Cottesmore and Ashwell. The route can be viewed here. Sigma Sports just ask that any attendees review the terms and conditions before registering for the ride. The event is free and anyone wishing to attend can register on the Eventbrite website.
