Rides with The Chester Fabulous Ladies are free.

The Chester Fabulous Ladies cycling club is part of Chester CTC, which is in turn part of a regional group of Chester and North Wales CTC. 

The CTC (Cyclist's Touring Club) is the UK’s national cyclists’ organisation.

Today CTC has around 70,000 members encompassing all ages and types of cyclists with elected representation at national and local level backed by a professional staff.
