The thought of group cycling again leaving you feeling a bit more like this? Worried that you'll be too slow? Anxious that your fitness and skills aren't up to scratch? Then we want YOU on our rides. Our supportive, patient coaches want to get you back out on the road and enjoying the Beatbike buzz. Be Brave and let us take care of the rest.

This? Yes please! Club rides in groups of 6 starting again on 30/3. Make sure you are part of the WhatsApp group for info on where to meet.

I always offer help to stranded cyclists and just occasionally the offer is gratefully received. Today, in a COVID-safe, 2 metre distance sort of a way, I talked a cyclist through changing an inner tube. He is a step closer to riding with the sort of confidence you get from knowing that you are self reliant. There really is no substitute for being prepared to get your hands grimy and practising.

On International Women's Day we'd like to celebrate the achievements of Beryl Burton - twice World Road Race Champion and five time World Pursuit Champion, with more than 90 domestic titles to her name. A Yorkshire housewife with no financial sponsorship or formal coaching, she overcame childhood ill health to become the first sportswoman to break a men's competitive record. This 12hr time trial record (277.25 miles) set in 1967 still stands for women and exceeded the men's record for 2 years. No surprise to learn that our very own Sian Brice was raised on the tales of this cycling hero. Beryl had a simple motto, 'Anything lads can do, I can do.'

Until we can ride together again irl stay fit with our online spin. Message to join the group and book via our website.
