Beeston CC is a club formed by a group of sometime cyclists who trained to ride to Paris. Some members had looked around at other clubs and found they couldn’t fit in with group rides at set times and so started arranging to ride together via a ‘blog’. Many of the current club members are parents with small children and so the only time they have is to ride in the early morning. Other members with different needs have started arranging evening rides, or weekday rides. The ethos of the club is firmly based on giving members support to arrange what suits them.
The club comes together with social events and bigger rides every couple of months. We have one major ‘Challenge ride’ every year. All ideas for events are welcome.
We welcome family membership and ask that children (Under 18s) come on club rides with parents or carers. We are working on family cycling days and how to involve children in cycling as a sport.
As a new club the first aim is to build membership and adapt to new member’s needs. As time goes on coaching will become available. The club has riders willing to share their experience of crit racing, time trialling, long distance riding, triathlon and commuting along with the joy of just being together with mates whilst on a bike.
Leaving a message on the blog will find you a riding partner or an answer to most questions on training, repairing your bike or buying kit. Give us a try!
