Love a Sunday morning bike ride followed by a coffee & pastry? Join Stamford Cycling’s latest launch – The Monthly Fika Ride in partnership with Fika Stamford and Fika Oakham.
What is The Fika Stamford Ride?
The Fika Ride brings together the Swedish tradition of ‘fika’ – a coffee break with friends – and our love of cycling around beautiful local countryside. Our monthly social ride celebrates community, great coffee and the joy of exploring local routes together.
On the last Sunday of every month, we meet outside Fika Stamford for a 40km scenic ride through the countryside, finishing at either Fika Stamford or Fika Oakham for well-deserved refreshments.
