Local cycling clubs in Chesterfield

[Stockie]

Hi. New to CC and have been out on bike for about 4 months now. Does anyone know any friendlycycling clubs in chesterfield area. My age young 50 but not particulary fast on bike.

In a very similar position myself, but only been riding 2 months, just starting to pick up distances in anticipation of York and Mcr 100's. If you find a decent club let me know, or if you fancy a ride at some point drop me a pm, also not fast etc. Just enjoying riding.

Seen that one, looks good, also a Bolsover based one but seems a bit more race orientated. Might give the Spire one a try

Had a good look at the Bolsover web page today and they seem to do all the sort of things I would like, a spiralling thurs night ride, and 2 different Sunday ones re pace, they will tell you what is the best for you. Once I'm back from a Stag do over the weekend I will give them a try I think with the thursday evening ride, I'm on that side of Chesterfield so it's easy for me.

You could always try and do you own CycleChat rides. Plenty of us in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, or people who can get there.

On the point of the CTC rides a lot of them go in your direction from Millhouses Park. It's not unheard of to meet up on the way.

Going out with the Bolsover peeps next Thursday evening, will report back, hopefully can keep up!

Sounds like you had fun. I was going to look into joining the club myself but it fell by the wayside a bit and I never heard anything back from them. Might look into them again next spring.

Been out for a few rides with Bolsover and District and have now joined, and now am the owner of club kit in the form of bib shorts and summer jersey.

Hope I can live up to a club cyclist next time I go out!
