The Leatherhead Clubhouse Cycling Group
|
The Leatherhead Clubhouse Cycling Group started in May 2007.
We meet on Monday afternoons during Spring, Summer and Autumn to go on gentle bike rides in the local area. Some of these sessions are beginner cycling sessions, which gives a chance to practise cycling for those who are not so confident, or those who may not have been on a bicycle for a long time. |
|
We provide the opportunity to join a variety of sponsored cycle rides throughout the summer, as well as organising our own sponsored rides to raise money for the Cycling Group. |
Since we started the group we have been donated bicycles from various people and places, which we have put through safety checks and can offer on loan to members who do not have their own bicycle. (There is no cost for borrowing bicycles or helmets).
We also have a good selection of tools that are available for members to use, and offer training on basic bicycle maintenance.
