Last Thursday we were delighted to welcome Kerry from Derian House to the start of our first social Thursday ride of the year. We presented Kerry with a cheque for £672.47 which has been donated by our CCC members Cyclone spinning at David Lloyd Chorley every Tuesday night this winter. A huge well done to all our fantastic members in raising so much money for a great charity that provides so much for children and their families.

Interested in cycling? Why not come and join us at The Euxton Mills every Thursday at 6pm for a social 25 - 40 mile spin through the lanes? New members are entitled to 3 rides before we ask you to join.

Or if that is a little too energetic, simply keep an eye on our socials as we will be putting on more events to raise money for Derian House our charity partner this year.

Chorley CC x Ventum Bikes Crit Series 2026

•

Chorley Cycling Club are delighted to be back with more crits in 2026, keeping the popular Uclan Arena circuit on the schedule, with a 6 event weekend series.

Running from May to August, the aim is to give back to the North West scene and host a variety of events, giving plenty of opportunity for riders of all abilities to get involved.

Off the back of the success of the 2025 series, prizes have very kindly been secured from our local cycle retailer, Merlin Cycles. 2026 sees the company become the exclusive UK retailer for Ventum bikes, who are title sponsor for the series. Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 placings in each race.

The open 4th only and open 3/4 races will be 45 minutes including 5 laps, with the open 2/3/4, Masters 30+ and E/1/2/3 races lasting at least 1 hour, including 5 laps.

Better weather is on the way, and the race season is upon us. We can’t wait to see you all for some great racing this summer!

CCC would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Aidan Worden, a talented local rider with a lot of promise. Having raced against him a few times, it was clear he was a talented young man. This is just an absolute tragedy and all our thoughts are with Aidan’s family and friends at this time. RIP young man.

💚💚💚

It's time to celebrate in style, with our lovely fundraisers from across the North West who've helped support us over the last seven days 🤩

💚 Following on from their incredible 2023 of fundraising - where they collectively managed to raise over £18,000 for us - Chorley Cycling Club has emblazoned their latest kit with Derian House's logo to raise vital awareness for us on the club's days out.

💚 Team Kinny - consisting of Cheryl, Gemma, Amanda, Nicola, Dawn, Eleanor, Lucy, Laura, Hayley and Ashley - took part in the Wigan 5k last weekend, and collectively raised over £1,700 for us in memory of Ian Kinsella, one of our long-standing supports who sadly passed away last year.

💚 Tricia from Canal Cottage Crafts popped by to donate an abundance of beautiful handmade blankets for our bereaved families who choose to use our Sunflower Rooms.

💚 Staff from Hobbycraft Bolton, Preston, Wigan and Southport came together to decorate our Seaside Room for Easter.

💚 Hobbycraft Bolton donated a massive spring hamper, filled with plenty of arts and crafts for us to enjoy.

Weekend forecast looks half decent for the first time in what feels like forever. Who’s getting out in the lanes over the next couple of days?

Here are this Thursday's second batch of supporters who've helped to support their local children's hospice and raise vital funds recently 🫶

💚 Leigh Leopards winger and friend of Derian House, Josh Charnley, has created his very own Frederick's Ice Cream flavour 'Charnley Pudding', which is now on sale instore with 25p from every sale going to Josh's three chosen charities, including ourselves. The ice cream parlour also welcomed 1,000 Santas last week, with proceeds from their exclusive 'Jingle All The Way - Chorley' flavour coming to us.

💚 Our brilliant Chorley Champions raised £320 by selling Derian's famous knitted Christmas goodies to shoppers at David Lloyd Chorley's Christmas market event, with the gym also raising a whopping £751 from the tombola and stall proceeds for us.

💚 Vincents Solicitors held a bake sale and art sale in aid of Derian last week, with the paintings coming from a member of staff whose father used to be an artist!

💚 Char Elliot absolutely smashed her initial target of £50 - and raised a total of £341 alongside her mate Stacy - by walking 50 miles throughout the month of October.

💚 Chorley Cycling Club raised a phenomenal £17,000 for us earlier this year by cycling from Buckingham Palace to Chorley in one day. They recently raised £400 for us on top of that with a raffle at their annual dinner.
