Welcome to the Westbury Wheelers website. We are a friendly club.We have some very serious riders and some hacks.
The club's mainstay rides are Sunday morning outings. Two groups fast and slower, meeting at 9am in the Market Square. The fast boys do 70/80 quick miles with a stop. The slower group usually ride 25-45 miles, have a cup of tea and a bit of cake and come home, traditional cycling club activity. There's a Wednesday morning ride (approx 30-40 miles) leaving the square at 9.30am for those who have the time to get out mid-week. We have mid-week evening training rides in the Winter/Summer as well. In Winter, off road, in Summer, on the road of course. These tend to be all out 90 minute training sessions,with less room for chat!
We have started intro rides on the first Saturday of each month during the summer for those just getting into cycling-ie who are not used to the basic club ethos/mileage demands! We did our first in April and it was a huge success. We had 40 guests from kids, families, old boys etc. We had mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrids, you name it. All shapes and sizes of rider. We rode a 13 mile and a 24 mile ride to get people used to the idea of lengthy distances etc.
We are pretty sociable too-we do curry nights fairly often and various other activities-ie track riding days, go-karting etc, whatever people are interested in really. We all have time demands and so the accent is on having fun-life is too short not to. That said, on the quiet, everyone takes their cycling as seriously as their abilities/training opportunities allow.
The website is very easy to follow and packed with useful info
