Training rides around Bradford on Avon

billysan

Have recently moved to Bradford on Avon, am looking for any local groups / chain gangs that wouldnt mind me tagging along one day?

Im aware of a couple of reasonably local clubs, Chippenham Wheelers, Bath CC, Bath Uni etc, but would rather find more local riders.

Ive seen a fair few riders around, but dont know of any formal clubs in BOA as such.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure there are any clubs based in Bradford but I know the frome and district wheelers meet in Trowbridge which is probably your closest bet.
If not try asking at tt cycles. They'll point you in the right direction I would've thought

Cheers for the reply. Yes that would be handy, I'll look into their offering.

I tried at TT cycles too, but they were next to no help. The chap I spoke to was particularily disinterested, offering 'there's some club in Chippenham' as his advice.

Loads of road riders seem to be about town though so am supprised there is nothing more formal.

Maybe it's a sign to start something up

As you said though there are a reasonable number of road cyclists.

I might be one of the guys you've seen around. I've been in BoA for 3 years and like you regularly see other riders. Me and another guy I ride regularly with from BoA are members of Bath CC but also do our own rides from BoA. If you want to e-mail me at terrywnuttall@googlemail.com you can see whether we do the kind of rides you're looking for. You might also speak to Mike the barber next to the bakers near the chippy. He is a keen triathlete and rides with a local group mid week evenings I think.
