We are an amateur cycling club based in Neath, South Wales, set up by enthusiasts to firstly raise money through organised Sportives and charity rides, and secondly to encourage regular exercise amongst us. We are proud that in a relatively short space of time, our regular rider base has swelled to more than 25, and weekly rides are well supported on a Saturday morning.
As we are still reasonably small in number, our preferred approach is to have one main ride per week, which everyone, irrelevant of ability is invited to participate in. Some clubs have enough people to warrant two or more groups of varying ability, but our motto is improve together – so the last man is always catered for. This may not suit particularly fit riders who have a vested interest in themselves only – but those prepared to help others are more than welcome to come along. That said, our average ride speed is about 15-17mph depending on the terrain, so you should be ready for that. If you have some banter – bring that too – always welcome!
