PLEASE NOTE All riders with Liskeard Velo must have their own third party insurance (check your house insurance; consider affiliate membership of Cycling UK; or ask your ride leader about other inexpensive options). If you are a guest or new rider you may ride with Liskeard Velo for up to three rides without this insurance to give you time to sort this out.
