Cycle Somerset
“A friendly, social cycling club offering varied rides through the Somerset countryside — with coffee and lunch stops along the way.”
Club Administrator, Club Secretary
The organisation
Cycle Somerset is a friendly, social cycling club based in Taunton, Somerset, England. The club offers varied rides of 20–40 miles through the Somerset countryside, led by experienced ride leaders with coffee and lunch stops. Rides are rated by distance (short/medium/long/extended), terrain (easy to tough), and pace (slow to fast), with shorter options for those returning to cycling. Ladies' rides and charity initiatives round out the calendar.
The challenge
Scheduling group rides with multiple rating dimensions — distance, terrain, and pace — means each ride needs clear descriptions so members choose the right level. Ride leader coordination, membership renewals, and event communications through HeyConnect and Dropbox integration add administrative layers.
How TidyHQ helped
TidyHQ manages memberships, a rich events calendar with ride ratings, meeting records, and communications — powered by HeyConnect, Dropbox, and Google Analytics integrations. The platform's event descriptions clearly convey each ride's distance, terrain, and pace so members self-select the right group.
The outcome
Since implementing TidyHQ, Cycle Somerset has fundamentally changed how they operate.
