Welcome to the newest section in the club! We’ve had lots of club members riding gravel bikes, mountain bikes and cyclo-cross bikes for ages, and decided the time was ripe for setting up a dedicated group.
Club off-road activities fall into roughly three areas:
- There are regular monthly social rides. Members and non-members are welcome. These rides are generally suitable for mountain, cyclo-cross or gravel bikes, and are around 3-4 hours in duration. Meeting points vary but are in the Fleet/Farnborough area. Watch the website for details. We also plan to add in the occasional ‘epic’ ride, visiting the Peak District, Wales, South Downs Way and so on.
- We have a growing number of riders who race cyclo-cross competitively – usually in the Wessex League and the Central League. These Leagues normally run from mid-September to mid-January. Cyclo-cross is very accessible, for all ages from under-8s to over 50s, boys, girls, ladies and men and can be ridden on any bike. We even had two riders in the National Championships in January of this year.
- We have club members that enter a variety of competitive and non-competitive events for gravel and mountain bikes.
We’ve also got a very active WhatsApp group for sharing routes, rides, hints and tips. This is open to members and non-members alike.
