Welcome to Ferryhill Wheelers Cycling Club.

 

Subject to formal approval at our next meeting you are now a FERRYHILL WHEELER.

We have a proud cycling heritage and hope that you enjoy being a member for many years to come.

Your club subscriptions fall due on the same date each year, the 1st of October. Our club web-site will provide all details of club trophies, and as a member you are encouraged to compete. If you are new to cycle racing the club 10 Series is a good place to start. A 10 mile race may sound like a long way if you are new to the sport, but you will very quickly get used to the distance, and over the sixteen weeks find you have quickly gained in confidence and may want to try longer distances.

Our club meetings take place on the first Monday of every month unless there is a Bank Holiday, in which case the meeting is put back to the Monday following. We meet in the Ferryhill Catholic Club Hall (DL17 8ET) at 8.00pm to review and discuss topics relating to the club. We very much encourage attendance as this is the forum for members to have their say in the running of the club and to learn of other members plans for racing, Sportives etc. in the coming weeks.

You will find all the information you need on the web-site.

Could I just take this opportunity to ask that you bear in mind that the club relies on volunteers to assist in staging the various events we run throughout the year and is a self-supporting entity, run by its members for its members.

The club relies on volunteers. There is no “us” and “them” – you are the club.

We encourage all members to volunteer on at least one occasion each year. Volunteering is a good opportunity to get to know other people from the club as well as supporting events in which teammates will be participating. If you are thinking about taking part in future events, volunteering is an excellent way to begin to learn the ropes.

If you are new to our sport you will be given all the help you need to undertake the duties assigned. All that would be required is that you spend two or three hours in the year to help run a Ferryhill Wheelers event.

We also run social events and club runs throughout the year and details are available at the monthly meetings, on the web-site, Facebook page and Strava page.

We always have a good range of Club Cycling Kit in stock, please check out the website for further details or contact Fred Simpson (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

For any other information you need please contact Club Secretary.

We hope you enjoy being a member of Ferryhill Wheelers Cycling Club and look forward to riding with you and seeing you at social events.
