Cycling in Hadleigh: Something for everyone
Hadleigh Cycling Club has organised a range of activities for cyclists of all ages and abilities this summer.
On Tuesdays, our Junior Club meets at Hadleigh Community Primary at 18:30 to 19:30, with a monthly ride on the Railway Walk to help our young riders to build their confidence to ride in the ‘wild’. Our coaches will work with riders on specific skills and techniques to help them improve all the way through the season. We are also working closely with British Cycling’s Eastern Region Team to create more opportunities including additional coaching sessions at Colchester’s Northern Gateway Sports Park on Saturdays (9.00 to 11.00), as well as support to try racing in several disciplines such as cyclocross, crit and track.

On Thursdays, we are running an adult road ride of about 25-30miles, departing from Hadleigh High School lay-by at 18.30. This is a ‘Rock-Up n Ride’ format to get more miles in for those who are training for events. The focus is on group riding at a faster pace.
On Fridays, there is an informal ladies' daytime group ride. For further details please contact us via the website. This ride is very popular and may split into two groups on occasion.
On Sundays: our Club Ride departs at 9.00 from The George Inn, High Street, Hadleigh. This ride is normally about 30 to 40 miles at a speed of approximately 15 mph, depending on the preferences of the ride leader and the capabilities of the group. Our rides are 'no-drop'. That means you won't be left behind (unless you choose to be), but the group may split into smaller groups of different speeds if that makes it easier to handle. Keep an eye out for the details from the ride leader nearer the time.
The rides and activities are weather dependent so, if in doubt, check our Facebook page @hadleighcyclingclub Twitter @HadleighCycling Instagram hadleighcc or www.hadleighcyclingclub.co.uk
