The club was formed in 2013 by a group of friends from the local running club (Valley Striders Athletics Club, further information below) who were looking to vary their training.

Since then, the club has grown significantly and now consists of a group of runners and cyclists with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and interests.

The club is affiliated to British Cycling, providing insured social and training rides, led by volunteering (trained) ride leaders. We provide rides for;

• those new to cycling who wish to gain confidence and road craft
