Whether you've never ridden in a bunch in your life or you're chasing a national title, there's a place for you here. New riders especially welcome — we'll show you the ropes.
We've got bikes to borrow — road bikes for school-aged riders, and track bikes for newcomers giving it a go. Turn up and we'll sort you out.
New riders ride together and get a bit of coaching, while the experienced riders do their own laps. You'll never be the one holding everyone up.
Plenty of ways in that aren't about winning — come for the fitness, the fresh air, or just the company. You'll get fitter riding with us.
From school kids to grandparents, first-timers to Olympians. Every single member was new once — nobody's going to mind that you are too.
The easiest way in is a Wednesday evening. Through winter we turn the lights on at Athletic Park and ride as a bunch for an hour — a safe, friendly place to ride on a dark evening, with soup or a hot drink afterwards. In summer (October–March) we're out on the track. Either way: borrow a bike, ride with the new group, see what you think.
Thinking about coming down? Get in touch and we'll look after you — or just turn up, you'll be made welcome.
Every rider on our honours board started on an ordinary club night — kids on borrowed bikes, learning the ropes. Some went on to World Championships, the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics. You'd be in good company.
