Pam Jones, 79, told me: "I do it for my health, because it's sociable, and because I enjoy the freedom it gives you."
Brian Matkins, 82, said: "One of the first results I got from the medical study was I was told my body fat was comparable to that of a 19-year-old."
Aged just 64, Jim Woods, is a comparative youngster in the group. He averages 100 miles a week on his bike, with more during the summer.
He said: "I cycle for a sense of wellbeing and to enjoy our wonderful countryside."
Cycling 60 miles or more may not be your idea of fun, but these riders have found something that gives them pleasure, which is a key reason why they continue.
