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.
