Welcome to the Hertfordshire Wheelers.
The Hertfordshire Wheelers Cycling Club has been established in the East Herts area since July 1928 - thus making us one of the oldest established cycling clubs in Hertfordshire. The club has members from throughout the area including Cheshunt, Hertford, Ware, Stevenage and Much Hadham. Members take part in a variety of cycling activities including, road-racing, time-trialling, track-racing, audax and sportives. Each Sunday a "club run" takes place. This is a ride of 35-50 miles through the lanes of Hertfordshire and Essex taking in a refreshment stop in a café or pub.
Jim Cann's Cycle Tour
On the 15th April at the St Margaretsbury Sports & Social Club, Jim Cann will be giving a slide-show presentation on "2000km in search of Mount Cook on the land of the long white cloud". This is about his cycle tour of the south island of New Zealand.
ARDRES 15-16th MAY
For an opportunity to ride around on French country roads on the 16th May, Audaxes of 25/60/100 & 150km are being held at Ardres (about 10 miles SE of Calais). After parking at Dover, travel will probably be via Seafrance on Saturday (15th) early afternoon - return Sunday (16th) late afternoon. Depending on numbers, accommodation can be hotel, B&B or campsite - we are awaiting recommendations from the event organiser. For further information please contact PeterW.
Wheelers'
Audaxes - Change of Date
The date of the Wheelers' Audax rides has changed. The four events, at 50km, 100km, 150km and 200km, will now take place on Sunday 4th July starting from Bengeo, Hertford. See this page for entry details. (Note that you do not need to be a member of Audax UK nor of Herts Wheelers to enter).
Invitation Rides Resume for 2010
Throughout the summer the Wheelers organise a series of "Invitation Rides". These are shorter than our normal club runs and are purely social and leisure rides open to anyone who cares to join in - members and non-members alike. The first ride of 2010 will take place at 2:30 pm on 4th April - an easy-paced 25 mile round-trip from Ware Broadmeads car park to Braughing Church Hall for tea and cakes.
Why not join us? Just turn up or contact clubruns @herts-wheelers.org.uk for more information.
Members only Area - New Features
The forum is available to members for general discussion about the club (don't forget to log in!). There are also instructions on how to subscribe and use the forum.
The calendar lists events that members are entering to assist them with co-ordinating their rides.
Family Membership
