What’s On When

The nights may be drawing in but don’t let that stop you making good use of your bike(s). We’ve plenty on offer to keep you warm over winter. There are WhatsApp groups for most of these activities so just get in touch (chair@wellandvalleycc.co.uk) if you’d like to be added to the group list.

For Younger Folk

Whizz Kids runs every second and fourth Saturday of the month. Venues vary but it’s always active and fun

Coaching sessions run on the first Monday of each month at Desborough Leisure Centre . A wide age range catered for but must be confident pedallers.

 

For Older Folk

The hill climb “fun bunch” do exactly what it says on the tin on Tuesday evenings and ride a loop with as many hills as they can find

Mud Larks is for those wanting to develop their bike handling skills and (maybe) ride cyclocross. They meet on Wednesday evenings up until Christmas behind Harborough Leisure Centre. Accompanied proficient youngsters are also welcome.

Friday’s steady club run departs from  the Square in Harborough at 9.30am.

The Sunday club runs also depart from the Square but at 9.15am . A good range of speeds and distances on offer.

There are “longer” off-road rides on Friday evenings of around 45km.

“Shorter” (around 30km) off-road rides now take place on Saturday mornings.

Riders under 16 are welcome on club runs and off-road rides when their parents judge that they are mature enough to cope with traffic and strong enough to complete the ride.  They must be accompanied by a nominated adult. Those aged 16-18 are very welcome to take part unaccompanied provided written parental consent has been given and seen by a ride leader on their first ride.
