Yealm Rouleurs Cycling Club

The Yealm Rouleurs are a social cycling club in the Yealmpton, South Hams and surrounding area and is about 10 years old. New members welcome!

The Rouleurs go on a ride every Saturday leaving the Yealmpton Post Office at 0800hrs and from just outside the Ermington Primary School at 0820hrs. The typical ride is between 30 and 50 miles in the South Hams or in Dartmoor. Normally between 4 and 10 of use turn up for a ride. We ride at an average speed of about 13 - 15 mph and usually have a fair bit of climbing, but we have a policy of not le

aving anyone behind! We welcome men and women from the Yealmpton and surrounding areas who have a road bike and are capable of the speed/distance to join us! Contact Pete via the 'send email' button above...

Riders take part at their own risk. The group does not offer any formal training or coaching. Riders must provide their own insurance, have a road worthy bike, have the required degree of fitness/health to complete the ride, carry spares and know how to fix their bike on the road as well as know the route in advance of a ride and know how to get home if they get lost. Full terms of riding with the Yealm Rouleurs are contained here: www.letsride.co.uk/terms

On 9th April the club went on their annual ride to remember their founder, Ken Middlemiss, who sadly died in 2018. Ken was a keen sportsman and local cycling figure - well known to many. He was an outstanding athlete who could boast a Marmotte Gold, and the Paris-Brest-Paris amongst his many achievements. This year we rode to his favourite café – Fox Tor, Princetown. This was a 60 mile ride across Dartmoor in glorious Springtime sun.

Extra ride this week in the Spring (?) sunshine to our favourite village cafe - The Green

Off to Kingsbridge for Saturday's ride.

We've been riding as a club all through the winter, having fun and getting punctures!

Are you thinking of cycling more?

It's great for fitness, to explore the glorious South Hams (and it's coffee shops), or to make new friends? New members are welcome to come along as the days warm up and the sun comes out...

Members age from 18 upwards and are a mix of genders, living in Yealmpton, Ivybridge, Netwon and Noss, Holbeton, Modbury and Plymstock....

Concerned about the climate emergency?

Cycling as a means of transport has a direct impact on reducing climate change and improving wellness.

Every time you, your family or friends ride a bike you are helping lower carbon emissions, improve your health and wellness. Please support this activity, or better still, become a participant. Joining a supportive cycling club will help you reduce emissions and improve your wellbeing and health.

Cycling benefits:
Cycling reduces carbon emissions. Cycling has a carbon footprint of about 21g of CO2 per kilometre. That’s less than walking or getting the bus and less than a tenth the emissions of driving.
Electric bikes have an even lower carbon footprint than conventional bikes because fewer calories are burned per kilometre, despite the emissions from battery manufacturing and electricity use

Cycling improves health and fitness. 30 minutes of cycling a day (on the road or in the gym) can help you to lose weight, improve your health and reduce stress. An hour on a bike can burn more than 650 calories.

Cycling improves wellness. Cycling is a proven way to reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, arthritis, heart attack and depression.

Cycling removes cars from the road and lowers emissions. If cycling’s popularity in Britain increased six-fold (equivalent to returning to 1940s levels) and all this pedalling replaced driving, this could make a net reduction of 7.7-million tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to 6% of the UK’s transport emissions.

Joining a cycling club or group is an excellent way to make an impact on climate change and grow your social circle. If you're new to riding - you'll probably find all the maintenance and training advice you may have been looking for there, too.

Last week we had a great ride to Ashburton and a bit of Dartmoor, with a lovely coffee stop at the Old Library Cafe.

On Saturday we hope to have a ride to promote COP26 and the environmental benefits of cycling.
