Non competitive cycling clubs

little lady

Hi,

Just posting on behalf of my sister, she mentioned yesterday that she would like to join a cycling club but that any she has looked into are all quite competitive. I think she would just like a group that went for a cycles for a few hours at the weekend without trying to out do each other or without training for a race.

I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of a club or group like this and I could pass it on to her.

Cheers
LL

Most clubs cater for non-racers as well and often have slower training spins for those who don't want to be slugging it out. My advice would be to contact the local club and tell them what she's interested in.

A cycling Club usually has a Touring group that goes out on Saturdays or Sundays for a few hours which a tea stop half way. Contact your local club and ask them. They don't dawdle along but keep a steady non-competitive pace to suit everyone which improves your cycling.

I think there's a Sunday spin for beginners my club in Swords (www.swordscc.com) if that suits you geographically.

If she's based in Dublin, she can always join our (getting more) famous Saturday Spins -we're most definately non-competitive on here, and it's just a nice spin out on a Saturday. I'll usually put up a post about it on here on a Thursday or Friday giving times and meet points (usually 10am at the Harolds Cross Dog Track and 10.15 under the Luas Bridge in Dundrum)

We're not a club (at the moment), but I find it's a good way to ride in a bunch
