Time Trials

Bikmo British cycling Club of the year Regional Winners

Exciting to learn yesterday that we were chosen as regional winners for Scotland. The judges were ” bowled away by the sheer amount that we do as a club to support all our members and make all feel welcome”. They also loved the Bike and Blether video that we submitted. As regional winners we receive £100 to spend on a club activity of our choice(apparently coffee drinking and cake eating is quite acceptable!) and one year’s free British Cycling standard club affiliation (worth £98).We also get to feature in a new British Cycling Club of the month feature. This award is definitely down all the time and effort that is given voluntarily throughout the club to get activities going! As always, a huge thank you to all.

Rock up and Ride Programme 27/03/23

50 pupils from Lundavra primary school and Inverlochy primary school took part during March in a pilot programme from Scottish Cycling in conjunction with the Wheelers. The Rock Up and Ride programme is aimed at delivering a long term increase in cycling activity. In return for attending a series of coaching sessions the pupils ” earned” a brand new bike to take home, along with a helmet, lock and lights. A huge thanks to Claire who did such a fantastic job at organising it all. Thanks also to all the coaches who helped to deliver some fun sessions. We are really hopeful that we shall be able to take further part in the project in the future.

Great fun was had by both young and old over the weekend of the festival. It was great to combine forces with the Fort William Foxes and a special thank you must go to Elise and Rhiannon for putting in so much time and effort in to making the whole weekend such a success. A huge thanks also to EventScotland and the Community Cycling Fund for providing funding for the event.
