Welcome to the Velo Club Lincoln

book now

Welcome to the Lincoln based cycling club with accredited GO RIDE junior section. VC Lincoln comprises more than 140 members involved in all aspects of recreational riding, competitive training and racing. We have a calendar of rides every week of the year ranging from relaxed sociable trips through to high intensity chain gangs for the more competitive. Some members are pretty serious whilst others are training for new challenges in the UK or overseas, or simply riding socially and safely whilst steadily improving general fitness and wellbeing. We are a friendly lot and you are sure to find a warm welcome.

Our British Cycling trained and accredited coaches run a very active junior section which combines handling competences and skills with junior races which have a proven record of developing juniors into seniors, and the youngsters just love it! We are in the high season now with light nights and great weather, the Grand Tours are on TV, The National Cycling Championships have been held in Lincoln for the first time and cycling in the city is at a high water mark ! We hold a track session every Wednesday in the summer which is a great opportunity to show up and take a look at us (from 6:45pm), the kids and seniors will be racing round our dedicated 1 mile race track. You’ve read this far, so why not make a diary note and come down to Yarborough Sports Centre (LN1 3SP) this Wednesday – as I said, we are a friendly lot who just love riding our bikes.

Why join us ? For all sports and activities, there is a huge amount of information on the internet and a comprehensive choice of magazines, but at Velo, our members are able to offer first class advice and encouragement based upon decades of riding experience. Tell us your objectives and you’ll find that there will be a handful of people who can immediately guide you or your child and, they’ll support you on your journey.

To distil it all down, we all love riding our bikes and welcome you to come along and take your riding to a new level within a socially proactive environment.

🚴‍♀️🚴 National Trophy Round 1 - Derby 🚴🚴‍♀️

This weekend saw us at Round 1 of the National Trophy Series at Derby. These races are on another level. The courses are tough and the competition is fierce! 

The course was technical, slippery and challenging. Steep bridges, horrifically high hurdles on a hill, off camber, lots of surface changes and 50 mile an hour winds thrown in for good measure! 💨💨💨

Ben was up first in the Vets race. Some overnight rain meant the course was quite slippery. Ben lined up and got an excellent start, leading the field into the first corner, a good 300 meters from the start. Nice one Ben! The rain just about held off and Ben finished in 31st🏅

A couple of races later and by now a fair bit of rain, it was the turn of the Under 16 boys. An absolutely huge field made for an intense start, but Charlie, Toby and Zach all held their nerve and got away well. Toby finished 50th🏅 Zach 61st🏅and Charlie 77th🏅 Well done boys, an awesome effort. 

Next up it was the girls. Freya and Alex both attacked the course, mastered the bridges and hurdles and rode well. Freya finished 19th🏅and Alex 23rd 🏅 Well done girls, fantastic!

Last race of the day on Saturday and Bradley and Herbie were up for their first ever taste of a National Trophy race. By now the rain had stopped and the course had dried out a bit. Another humongous field, another intense start, but both boys were amazing, rode brilliantly and embraced the experience. Herbie finished 70th🏅and Bradley 72nd 🏅 Brilliant boys, well done!

Sunday rolled around and it was Mark's turn to line up for the Senior race. He rode well, picking riders off as he went to improve on his gridded position finishing 25th 🏅Great ride, well done Mark! 

The high winds did mean that the Lincs League race was unable to go ahead this weekend, but we go again next weekend at Stroxton, organised by Witham Wheelers. See you there! 🚴‍♀️🚴
