Training/riding buddies

hello im looking for riding/training friends in the barking essex area for training/social rides

I suggest go to the British Cycling web site and look for a local club

or ring up Cyclos Uno in Hainault and ask for advice there- there's a few versions of Cyclos Uno clubs around- watch out though - Trevor's bound to say he's got a bike "just your size" for you
it happens every time- and he has too! ;-))))

If a beginner try the CTC and build up from there

Thats sound advice to be honest. Cant really add anything much except look in the local papers for adverts for local clubs there. But theres almost certainly going to be a CTC club nearby or a racing type club if you want to do TT riding. But you be surprised who you might meet by going out by yourself unless you are a shy person like me!!!

Trevor at Ciclos Uno is very friendly and helpful.....CTC is another good idea.....loads and loads and loads of clubs in your area....Shaftsbury CC, Redbridge CC, Lea Valley CC, Becontree Wheelers, Eagle Road Club, Crest CC......Vin Denson [pro and mate of Tom Simpson rides with Redbridge CC] and Lea Valley is quite friendly....Most have huts in Ugley [great name and there is a *Ugley *Womens' Institute too...kid you not...merely reportage] near Stansted and that where they do a fair bit of timetrialling.......Hope this helps.....I used to be in the Crest and they were ok and had a lot of friends in the Lea Valley and they were quite good but to ride with Vin Denson....oooooh!

hello i am looking for training riding buddies within a few miles of barking essex

Hi, I might know someone who could be interested. What sort of distances were you looking to cover?

any distance just to get local people together the distances could be sorted as and when needed

Sorry fella, your outta luck. Guy who I was thinking of broke his leg 2 days ago. Probably for the best, hes sort of accident prone.
