Cycling Opportunities

With a number of new club members and the arrival of some warmish weather, now seems a good time for  a reminder of all the cycling activities the club has on offer. They pretty much all have their own WhatsApp groups and none of them are exclusive so if you’d like to join just get in touch.

Whizz Kids– meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at 2pm and get up to a whole lot of fun.

 

Training

Hill climbing on Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm. Starting on Farndon Hill and going on to climb every “proper” hill nearby!

Chain Gang  on Thursday evenings from 6.30pm in Church Langton. Several different groups operating at several different speeds including a “how to chain gang” group.

 

Racing

Lots of time trials to choose from, or even do them all. Full details and more about the club championship on the website (here 2023 Club Championship – Welland Valley Cycling Club (wellandvalleycc.co.uk)  but the next ones are 25miles this Sunday morning  and 10miles on Tuesday evening .

Lots of members take part in the Friday Night Summer Series of mountain bike races. WVCC are hosting the race at Spanhoe airfield on Friday 7th July.

Our next road race is the Duncan Murray Wines race to be held on Sunday 30th July at Naseby.

 

Club runs and social rides

Looks like we’re back to four groups on Sunday mornings again. Meet on The Square in Market Harborough for a 9.15am departure. Hopefully that’s enough groups for all speeds to find a group they are comfortable with

Friday morning steady rides leave at 9.30am from The Square. The plan is to build in some longer rides over the summer months.

Off road rides are on Friday evenings and sometimes Saturdays. We’re increasing the number of groups taking part in these and hope to attract some less speedy riders to the joys of off-road.

British Cycling Guided rides and Breeze rides usually take place on Tuesday mornings and Sunday afternoons. These are a bit slower than club rides and are a great way for riders to build confidence. More information on the Let’s Ride website.

 

Don’t forget you can find lots of information about all our many activities on our website where you’ll also find a useful calendar giving monthly guide to events.
