Greetings

Having cycled fairly regularly since childhood, I only really took up road cycling in 2017. I entered the Prudential Ride London and the Birmingham Velo sportives. In 2021 I completed one of my bucket list rides, Chase The Sun. This year I have been taking part in a few longer distance audax rides and completed my furthest distance ride to date, managing 265 miles on a round trip from home incorporating the Dunwich Dynamo.

I joined my first cycling club in 2017 and have acted as Membership Secretary and Committee member. I have cycled with a few different clubs recently and wanted to have a more social aspect to my cycling.

Hampton Wick Cycling Club started as an idea, an idea that not all club members need to be able to ride a hundred miles at 25mph or have aspirations of completing the Tour de France. The ethos of the club is to provide a welcoming place to anyone, of any ability, who is interested in taking part in group cycling. A ride into the countryside, with a stop for coffee and cake. Then perhaps a pint or two at the end of a ride, sounds like the perfect Sunday doesn't it? We hope to provide people with the opportunity to improve their cycling while out each weekend, so do you feel like coming along for the ride?

If so, we'd love to hear from you and any ideas you have for the club. We welcome anyone to get in touch about becoming a member, especially if you are interested in volunteering to be part of the Committee or to become a Ride Captain.
