Club aims
We aim to provide a variety of activities and events throughout the year (cycling, triathlon and duathlon), giving our members unique opportunities and resources.
No Bike? No Problem!
As our club continues to expand, so does our ability to provide members with equipment! The club currently has three new road bikes and helmets available for members to use during rides, or to borrow out for solo training. We are in the process of acquiring more bikes for more people to use! More information on how to use these bikes is coming soon.
Additionally, if you are looking to buy a bike but are unsure where to start, our executive members and friends at local bike shops are more than happy to help you find the perfect bike to fit your needs and budget! Please contact us on the Facebook group for more info.
