Join us for our first social road bike ride for students in Uppsala! The tour is suitable for both beginners with some experience and advanced riders. Essentially, we’ll have a fun and active time with great conversations while biking, without any pressure to keep up or worry about the pace. However, it will still be a sporty ride.

The ride is led by our new groupride leader Ali Yildiz. The tour will go out on both main roads, cycling lanes and gravel if they are available outside the city. The tour will be held on two occasions: 12 and 26 October.

As we go on different roads it's preferable to come with a gravel bike, but you'll do fine with a sporty hybrid bike or MTB as well. The avarage speed will be 20–25 km/h.

  • Wearing a helmet is mandatory.
  • Please dress in sportswear and appropriately for the weather.
  • Bring cash, Swish or card if we stop for fika.
  • Please bring some bike nutritions (e.g. a banana) and filled bottles.

Depending on weather, route and available time we will have fika break in between or fika gathering afterwards.

Register in Campus1477's training app GoActive.

If you are not a member of Campus1477, you can become a (free) student sports member and book yourself into the activity.

Please don't hesitate to reach us out out if you have any uncertainties in terms of skills, pace or whatever – we want to offer an open and inclusive group ride!
