As Storm Claudia descends on most of us we thought it was a good time to help you make plans for the 2026 tandem rallies. Here is what you can look forward to for 2026:
2026 Easter Rally:- Ashbourne, Derbyshire Dales 2nd - 6th April 2026
Every year the Tandem Club organises an Easter get together. In 2026, this will be close to Ashbourne which is situated in the southern Peak District. For 4 days rides will be offered in this glorious area, put together by club member Neil Wheadon who has created many great tours over the years.There will be two communal tea stops offered as the joy of these events is to meet and greet fellow riders. In addition there will be a marquee on site and on Saturday night the campsite have laid on a very good band for our entertainment. Easter is a very popular time for camping and this site would normally be full. We have been offered exclusive use, but the club needs to ensure that enough people will be there. The site is half full, to achieve this everyone who would like to come needs to book as soon as they can. Thank you Neil. - Rally page and how to book click here
2026 International Rally:- Gouarec France 23rd - 30th May 2026
We will be revisiting the Breton Region for this rally with a lovely campsite along the Nantes-Brest Canal. We have up to 4 fields for sole use available for the rally. The toilets, showers and washing block have been recently refurbished. Rides will be undulating with canal and cycle path sections as well as opportunities to sample the local foods. The site is just 68 miles from Roscoff or 85 from St. Malo. 975 Km. from Amsterdam or 777 Km. from Brussels. There are two permanent marquees on site for those cycle camping or without facilities to use for cooking. We will have a larger Rally marquee for all our own activities.

2026 National Rally:- Thorney Lakes, Somerset 3rd - 8th August 2026
Another visit to the Somerset Levels for a rally at Thorney Lakes as we did in 2015. Plenty of flat rides as well as the challenges of the Mendip Hills with rides up Cheddar Gorge and Burrington Combe. Further details will be on the Tandem Club website soon.

Eugene and Neil
A chilly start with a thick fog didn't dampen the spirits of the six riders from Humberside, who set off on a leisurely tandem ride through the picturesque lanes of North Lincolnshire. Organised by Peter and Lyn, the group met at South Ferriby, with the aim of completing a circular ride from South Ferriby, also takingbin the Roman rosd Ermine Street.
As they say 'all good things come to an end' so on Sunday 19th October after a long dry spell the forecast for the Somerset Levels was 90% rain and strong winds! 4 intrepid tandem pairs and 3 soloists decided to brave the weather. We left the Avalon Marshes Centre after talking ourselves into it ove more ...
Ride on Sunday 12 Oct. starting at South Ferriby at 10:30. On the seat just after the right turn of the A1077 on to Horkstow Road. 43 km. Refreshments stop at Elsham Hall. Good weather ordered, from Paul Hudson.
