🚴‍♂️ Fred Whitton Challenge – Riding with Purpose 🚴‍♀️

This weekend, one of our club members, alongside fellow local cyclists, will be taking on the Fred Whitton Challenge — one of the UK’s toughest and most iconic sportives.

They’re not just riding for the challenge… they’re riding for something deeply personal. 💙

In memory and honour of a close school friend, they’re raising funds for The Brain Tumour Charity, helping to support vital research and families affected by this devastating illness.

This is more than just miles in the saddle — it’s about resilience, friendship, and making a difference.

If you’d like to show your support, whether that’s cheering them on, sharing this post, or making a donation, it would mean the world. Every bit helps move us closer to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Let’s get behind them and show what our cycling community is all about 🙌

Three friends are preparing to take on one of the UK’s toughest cycling challenges in memory of a beloved schoolmate.

🗻🗻GRAND OLD DUKES 🗻🗻

Yesterday 4 members of KLCC went up to Scotland to complete the gravel sportive - Grand Old Dukes - essentially the Fred on gravel 🫠🤯🫠🤯

An absolutely brutal and beautiful route around The Trossachs in Scotland

Chris (club chair and recently unemployed), Ant (social sec) and Glyn managed to finish the brutal event and (I think) thoroughly enjoyed it!! Aaron decided to have another lie on the floor and is currently writing a strongly written letter to SRAM…

Well done lads!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We went for the glorious views above Windermere in Grizedale Forest but the weather did not play ball and at the highest point visibility was about 50 meters! 🌫️🌫️🌫️ although the weather didn’t get on board it didn’t stop 5 very happy smiley and dirty faces loving their time out enjoying some off road goodness 🌚🌚🌚

We share each group ride on Strava via our club group so please keep an eye out for the next one 💪🏼 if you aren’t a club member and would like to join us then please get in touch
