Local cyclists?

Thanks all! Some really good stuff there. May have to try some Pilates! I have noticed my lower back isn’t as strong as it could be

Wonder if there’s enough local people for Charlbury Cycling Club? Or is it a case of build it and they will come. I found some vague mentions of such a thing on this site but not sure if it died a death?

Hi Dave - hope you got my mail sent through the site.
Here are the main points. I moved here in March and have recently joined Mickey Cranks who cycle from UE Coffee Roasters in Witney - really friendly group of people. www.facebook.com/groups/mickeycrankscyclingclub/?ref=share and they have a wide range of groups.

As you’ve seen Michele has posted about Pilates for Cyclists which I recommended in my Mail - an excellent class - really worthwhile

Welcome, Dave! There are hundreds of cyclists here. If you rode with the Condors, I guess you're a road cyclist but if you want to find some good off-road routes, message me via the site.

There's no club here, though I have on a number of occasions thought of starting one – for road, off-road, and for kids. But then I ended up riding (mainly off-road) with a bunch of people I know, and ...

The Town Council is thinking of starting a Charlbury BUG (Bicycle User Group) to find out what locals who ride bikes need and want, and this would be more focussed on station commuters, school drop-offs, going to the shops, etc., i.e. utility cycling. Watch this space ...

Dave,

I'm not aware of a club (but could be wrong).

If you PM me here I can give you a couple of names.

Btw, welcome to Charlbury!

Hannen.

Having moved here just before the first lockdown and as things start opening up, I’m wondering if there are any keen cyclists that be up for some regular rides?

I used to ride with the Condors in Oxford before moving and would class myself somewhere between a pleasure and fitness rider but I’m curious if there’s any locals, or even a club around?
