The club has been in existence for over 50 years & continues
to be the only cycling club in the Aylesbury Vale catering for regular weekend club rides, training sessions, racing,
touring etc. Our group rides leave at 9.00 a.m. every
Saturday & Sunday from the AquaVale car park, Park Street, Aylesbury.
We also have a couple of
midweek sessions, so please see below for details. Want to join in on a group ride?

| The 'slowest-cyclist' group enjoying the sun at Ashridge Park |
New to road cycling or returning after a break?
We introduced our Saturday 'slowest-cyclist' group rides in November 2008 for anyone to
join in. This has proved a great success & newcomers have told us how much they enjoy them. Here's an example: "Just
wanted to say how much I enjoyed the ride on Saturday....Nice social bunch and lots of support when I struggled on a couple
of hills...I'll definitely be back for more!" It's normally a route
of about 35 miles starting at 9.00 a.m. from AquaVale (bike park), Park Street, Aylesbury every Saturday &
we can email you the anticipated route a couple of days beforehand.
Already
feeling capable of riding with a cycling 'club' group?
As you
can see above, we leave at 9.00 a.m. from the Aqua Vale car park, so please feel free to join in.
Please note. Both the Saturday & Sunday 'club' group rides
welcome cyclists riding with us for the first time. However, from past experience we'd recommend that everyone, other than
those coming to us as a recent active member of another road cycling club, should initially ride with the 'slowest-cyclist'
group.
Members sometimes have "other commitments" & choose to return
earlier, so you may not have to come back alone if you wish to do a shorter ride. "Mainstay Margaret" is always there come rain or shine, so please feel
free to come along & introduce yourself.
Struggling
for 'daylight' time during the week? During the winter months you can join our 'MTB's with lights' group
ride & have a great time following nearby offroad trails with an added dose of excitement!
Meeting in Jansel Square car park in Bedgrove, where there's free parking if anyone requires it, the group
leaves at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday for a ride of approximately 2-21/2 hours. Everyone's welcome, all you need
is an offroad bike in good working order and a half descent front light. Lights on your helmet are very
useful but not essential & don't forget a rear light as there will be some riding on the road or canal towards
Wendover heading into the woods or up Coombe Hill.
Alternatively, you
may wish to become a member & join in on our 'turbo' sessions!
Until April, we'll be having 'turbo' training sessions on Thursday evenings.These conclude with
stretching exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist. If you feel this is another good reason to join the
club, please complete & forward the downloadable membership application form on the 'Contact us'
page of this website or contact the Club Secretary,
