British Cycling Ride Leader

Post by WillCycle »

I'm curious, does Cycling UK recognise the British Cycling Ride Leader qualifications? I've been looking at the Tour Leader course, but I'm really not prepared to shell out over £300, just to cover what I already know. I've taken literally hundreds of rides out, both on-road and on traffic-free routes.

In what context? Cycling UK no longer offer tours, so I'm not sure for what purpose you'd be looking for them to recognise your current qualifications. On a club level, no qualifications are required, though various training is available should the group want it (And be prepared to pay for it)

For the purposes of getting insurance as a ride leader, on rides I organised.

Here are Cycling UK's insurance documents, I suggest you read through the notes and FAQ's for Cycle Activity Providers.
