Club cycling includes group rides, indoor spin classes, and sessions designed around building fitness, confidence, and experience around other cyclists.
Club bikes may be available for members who do not have suitable equipment of their own.
The ride description will state the expected equipment, ability and meeting arrangements.
Running sessions offer a mixture of steady, social and structured training, with groups or adaptations when needed.
You do not need a competitive running background to take part.
Check the timetable and weekly club announcements for the planned location and session.
