- What do we stand for?
- What is important to us?
- Why would anyone want to join Club100?
Nothing is more important. Every member must complete every ride without injury. We therefore do our best to provide the safest possible routes, well organised rides and trained marshals. We ride in club kit as this makes us more visible, builds team spirit and gives our sponsors the support they deserve. We ride responsibly, never litter and always show courtesy to other road users.
While critically important for safety, better skills also add to the enjoyment of cycling. Seasoned club members with decades of riding experience are keen to pass on their knowledge to newcomers. This may take the form of helpful 'on the ride' remarks or the more systematic on-road and off-road clinics where practical riding, maintenance and other cycling related skills are taught.
For a cardiovascular work-out that burns lots of calories fast, is kind to the joints, gets the endorphins pumping and builds a nice firm Derriere, cycling is tops. Want mental relaxation? Want to smell the roses? Find a nice flat road or single track. But fitness goes beyond the ride, it goes to diet and lifestyle. And mental attitude.
We are not driven by commercial interest. We are a club run by members solely for the enjoyment of members. Come to one of our post-ride Saturday morning breakfasts, hear the banter, feel the vibe, experience the fun. Some of us enjoy racing in the red zone, others enjoy more relaxed multi-day tours locally or abroad, others the dust and mud of mountain biking. Everyone enjoys the coffee afterwards. Club100 is about camaraderie, cycling induced freedom and a zest for life.
