From this Wednesday we’ll be indoors at Aldercar High School – check the Calendar for when we meet. ALL WELCOME!

NEW ROOM – we’ll be in the new dining room … in the new building! It can be reached from either car park:

  • If you park on the tennis courts as you have been then go up the steps to the right of the sports hall and in through the door on the right.
  • If you go in through the Dalton’s Close entrance then you can drop kit off at the very end of the car park and park in any appropriate space – NOTE the narrow drop-off area provides access for emergency vehicles do not leave your car there!

Bring a clean bike, smooth tyres, rollers or turbo, a bottle and a towel and prepare to work hard!! In from 7pm, on and ready to roll by 7:30pm.

If you can’t ride rollers and you’d like to learn we can teach you! If you’d like to borrow a set of rollers please let us know and we’ll try to loan you a set.

Remember your warm layers and non-cycling shoes for journeying too and from Aldercar! AND A WOOLLY HAT!!

If you just want to pop down for a chat that’s fine too … hopefully we’ll have the kettle on 🙂

Rather damp Go-ride


A fab bunch of youngsters braved last nights really rather damp conditions at Aldercar! Coaches, Jon and Geoff, ran a challenging cyclo-cross style session.

Next week will be the final outdoor Go-ride for 2015.
