I write this post with a very heavy heart, as I have some sad news to share.

Chateau Velo Studio will be closing at the end of July, and the bikes will be no more, our last spin classes will be held on Saturday 26th July. (The cafe will continue! See more below.)

Times have been hard, and I have tried to be as honest as I could with the struggles we've faced. Rising costs, variable numbers, and the pressure on our members too in the economy, it's been a bit of a perfect storm.

I have done what I can to fight as long as I can - and I could never have got this far without all of your support. We have a very special little community here, but sadly it is just a bit too little to sustain as a business. I promise I have given as much as I can and it has been a very, very difficult decision to get here.

The cafe side of the business - Le Petit Velo Cafe - is going to continue, and I hope you'll still come to visit. I'm hoping it can keep being a little community hub and space where you can connect. A change in focus rather than a complete end for now. If you're not following already, please do find us on facebook and instagram.

There will be some admin around memberships and the like - please do send me your questions but bear with me as I try and get everything sorted (and if I'm a little teary in the mean time) but I wanted to give you as much notice as I could.

Chateau Velo Studio really has been something very special, and for that I am very thankful.

Message from Davinia:

I’m sure you know the saying “Put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others”. You may also know it’s not always that easy.

I have been struggling for a while.

We have been going for two & a half years here at Chateau Velo Studio and although it is a passion project & I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved, I’m mentally & physically exhausted.

Sitting down I feel I’m probably pretty close to burn out because I’m losing some of my mojo and passion for it, which terrifies me with all we have done and how many wonderful people we have here.

My own fitness and wellness hasn’t just taken a back seat over the last few years, it seems to have been left on the driveway (and possibly run over on the way out).

I know I can’t continue like this, but when the biggest bit of your business is you, there isn’t anyone you can fully hand over to or ask for help or cover without it having a huge financial impact (I know I have some other amazing instructors here by the way who have been so supportive and wonderful already)
The financial stresses of business life are also taking their toll, and ‘a proper holiday’ isn’t an option right now.

Something needs to change - things have to bend before they break.
So I’ve decided I’m going to take a break from the bike for a while.

But, you won’t be on your own. I’ll continue to lead classes, just from the floor instead of being on the bike. I’m hoping this will give me the energy and space to focus on my own wellness.
There will be a small impact on riders - you’ll still get the same coaching & encouragement in your ear, but with a bit of a different view.

I have struggled with how to share this - my battles are my battles, but I think honesty is really important and want you to know why I’m making these changes and perhaps hope you can understand.

Fitness is not just about your body, but your mind. It is about balance. Demands on your body and mind change over time, and finding ways to adapt is important.

This has been a really hard to write, after a hard decision to make, but if I don’t start to fill my own cup, it’s going to be impossible for me to help to fill yours 💜
