There is a membership fee of £10 for a years membership of the club to help cover the cost of affiliation. We stongly recommend that you join Scottish Cycling at the silver membership level to benefit from personal injury cover, or ensure that you are appropriately insured elsewhere.

If you have any queries or questions, you may well find the answer, or at least be able to ask the members, at the Yahoo Forum

 

 

The group occaisionally have indoor meetings to discuss club business which are open to all new and existing members. The next of these is on Thursday 28th January for the AGM - venue to be confirmed. All details of such meetings are on the Yahoo Forum.

 

We welcome all new members to the club. In order to get the most from your membership you must have a basic knowledge of cycling, be reasonably fit, and a confident road cyclist. You must also be able to conform to the club rules.

 

You are more than welcome to join the club on a ride, meet the members and find out a wee bit more about us before joining. If you like what you see, we will need you to become a member for your second ride with the group, inorder that you take advantage of the membership benefits.

 

Membership is just £10 for a year and a form can be down loaded, filled in and returned to the address shown accompanied by a cheque!

 

The Club adopted a constitution which you can view here.

 

 

The Club meets once a week during the sutumn/winter. Rides are cancelled in very bad weather - best bet is to have a scan out the window - if there is white stuff coming down or rain that does not hit the ground - its a good bet that we will not be out!

 

From February 7th 2010 two rides will start from Loch Leven Community Campus. Both groups leave at 9am. G1 will tend to be between 40km and 100km (25miles - 60miles) depending on weather, the route we are going, and who is riding! The pace will average more than 26km/hr (17mph).

 

The second group (G2) cover a shorter ride at an easier pace between 20km/hr and 25km/hr on average, (12 - 16mph).

 

Ride length and pace depend on who is riding on any particular day and is adjusted to suit all members of the group! If the group splits, we always stop to re-group.

 

Thursday rides take place on a Thursday evening, meeting at Loch Leven Lesiure (swimming pool) and tend to be shorter, we try to undertake informal training sessions, such as hill climbs, circuits, short sprints etc. The rides will start again in the spring as the days start to get longer.

 

We welcome new members to the group and would be delighted to see new meets and groups established for riders of different diciplines or abilities. If you have an idea don't forget to ask on the yahoo forum!
