Racing:

Winter means only one thing for racing, cyclo-cross! Many VCL members race rounds of the London cyclo cross Leauge, and a few even venture across for Central and Eastern league races. Our Home venue Herne Hill Velodrome also hosts a number of non-league events (calendar here).

VCL are also hosting the Regional Cyclo Cross championships at the Bethlam Royal Hospital on 9th of December. We’ve got quite a few riders already, but we need helpers! Post here or email the secretary if you can help.

Of course next winter the brand new Stratford/Olympic velodrome will be open, so many of us will be racing there.

Training:

Youth Turbo Training is every Monday and Friday night, 6.30-8pm in the office building at Herne Hill Velodrome. Bring your own bike (road or track), use our turbo trainers. £2 each.

Yoga-based fitness classes for cyclists are back by popular demand. Joseph runs through the toughest hour and a half session to ballance out your body and improve core strength that is so often lacking amoung cyclists. Cost £5 per session plus a one-off £5 registration with the centre. Tuesdays, 7pm at  Dulwich College Sports Centre, Pond Cottages, College Road, London SE21 7LD.

Throughout November we are trialing Chaingang at Herne Hill every Wednesday 6-7pm. Bring a roadbike with a decent front light. We’ll ride at a good tempo for an hour with intermittent efforts and recovery periods. If things work well this can be continued throughout the winter. This is the perfect warm up for…

Adult Turbo Training is every Wednesday night, 7-8.30pm in the office building at Herne Hill Velodrome. Bring your own bike (road or track), use our turbo trainers.

Sunday Club Run weekly club road ride leaving at 9.30. During the winter we usually have at least 30 riders out and split into groups based on speed. We usually have a good number of differently paced groups.  We meet on the corner of Birch Tree Ave and Layhams Road – BR49EQ. This gives people the option to be driven out past the heavy suburban traffic. Smaller groups do meet in Herne Hill/Dulwich just before 9am to ride out the the meeting point.
