"Always been a solo rider but now thinking of joining a club. Benefits? Thoughts? " Clubs can keep your motivation BUT...you need to decide on what you want out of it.. I mean, some guys (especially) want to scream along the streets at high speed and then they lose members/riders...come clubs have sections for different abilities... I on my days off do a mixed club run (my regular ride buddies and some from a local group and we go on a no average speed, no drop ride...usually 30-60 miles (depending on weather/local road closures/events) and it's a mixed group now of sexes too.... | |||

"Always been a solo rider but now thinking of joining a club. Benefits? Thoughts? " Clubs can be very clique to new comers, and very elitist, depending on the club. Get the right club tho and it’s like riding with a big group of your mates. Although I would say, make sure you join the right group! The first club ride I did I joined the C group who noted they did 12-14mph. I figured that was about me as a newbie. Turned out that C group was a bunch of tourers in their 60’s and 70’s+ and I turn up with my road bike looking really out of place!  I still went for the ride and they were a good laugh! It was nice to be the fastest on the group, plus I impressed them with my speedy tube change  | |||

"Always been a solo rider but now thinking of joining a club. Benefits? Thoughts? " Dependant on the club there can be plenty of benefits. But I've been in cycling all my life (3rd generation, parents raced, grandparents CTC stalwarts) and sadly the recurging themes of elitism and cliques amhave always existed. I rode a few tt's with a local club a few years back, rode a basic track bike with no aero kit and was openly belittled by riders with all the gear. Other clubs are nothing like that though!! Clubs provide different things, some are effectively racing teams, others are focused on youth development, my local club are very track focused and some are more about social rides. So find a club that matches what you want and have a broad spread of riders. Joining a decent club and you'll learn loads, get fitter and have plenty of fun | |||

"Just got back into cycling after a two year break; I've a heart condition which, when i really busy hard would leave me numb down my left side, it all got a bit scary so I decide to stop. I've lost a lot of fittness and have gone from an average of 20mph to 16. Really great to be back on the road again; I've only tried riding with a group once and found it really great as you go so much faster. Only trouble is, I'm really competative having raced road and cross country running and cross country skiing, I pushed hard, going for all the hills and sprints. So it's best that I cycle by myself and avoid getting carried away. I'm planning to keep it really sedate this year so I've converted an old road bike into a tourer; fitted mudgaurds, a back rack and a bigger lower gear. I aim to spend a few weekends away camping using a combination of trains and pedal power but limiting myself to about 60 miles a day. Would be great to have some company; thinking of tourering the South West and South Wales." Fellow cyclist and heart condition sufferer here | |||

"We're into most types of cycling, I love racing whether it's on or off road, Mrs says she's not competitive that is until she gets back to upload her strava, we like a little bit of touring, social group rides, just great being out and about. (or even in on zwift) The bikes also help us get to quieter places less popular with walkers for stripping off. Got a few bike related pics through our gallery. " Beautiful photographs, scenery and subjects . | |||
