READERS PLEASE NOTE:-
The club has a new Headquarters based at the Llandeilo Sports Association facility at the old Tregib School, Ffairfach. During the current Covid pandemic, the facilities (home to many local sporting groups) aren't being used but rides still start and finish at the site (lockdown permitting!). After every ride or turbo session on Tuesday nights, we get together to enjoy tea/
coffee and snacks as well a great deal of good humoured banter. As a club we pride ourselves on the way we welcome new members, no matter their level of cycling experience or ability - all are welcome (after all we all had to start somewhere!). We meet every Tuesday at 7.00pm for a short ride or turbo session. On Wednesday mornings, there's an informal ride for those with days off or retired and an organised club ride on Sundays of varying distance. We also have plans to introduce a beginnners ride on Saturday mornings. Paid -up members are covered by our group insurance on these rides. The Annual membership fee is just £25.00 per person (discounts for families) and this includes free third party ride insurance and also snacks on Club Night - at just 48p per week it's outstanding value for money! In 2017, the Club promoted it's first ever cycling event - The DamBuster Ride. In collaboration with The Douglas Bader Foundation, the event was organised to commemorate the famous raids on the dams in Germany by 617 Sqd during WW2. In the spirit of the event, riders with disabilities rode alongside able-bodied cyclists up to Llyn Brianne Reservoir above Llandovery. At the DBF feed station, riders witnessed a fly-past of aircraft piloted by individuals with significant disabilities - a truly moving moment when our club philosophy of "inclusivity" was never better demonstrated. :-)
If you can ride a bike you're welcome at our club. We look forward to meeting you one Tuesday evening.
