WELCOME to Velo Club Cumbria. VC Cumbria is a cycling club ('velo' is French for bicycle) based in West Cumbria in the English Lake District. The club organises road races, time trials, youth events and social events for anybody who is interested in cycling.

The club encourages new members so if you want to be part of a local cycling club please come along to one of the winter training sessions or one of our summer time trials. Time trialling can be a bit daunting but don't be put off - the club caters for all abilities so just come along for a look. Details of summer events can be found on the events page.

If you have got kids VC Cumbria's youth section, Lakeland Sprinters holds regular races and coaching sessions for up to sixty youngsters on based at Rowrah karting track throughout the summer.

Adam Powe's Ameia rose ride
Hi Rob Hargreaves VCC here

Did you know about fellow member Adam Powe's Amelia rose ride,

it is to raise money for the charity that looks after parents with sick children,

Adam and his fiance Lisa were offered use of the accommodation when Amelia was born but unfortunately had to have major surgery.

There is a full report about the ride and the charity in the Whitehaven news with our photo's.

About nine of us are endeavoring to complete a Two Hundred mile bike ride around the old Cumberland boundary to raise money for the sick children's trust.

If any one, cyclist or not would like to donate they can visit justgiving.com/AdamPowe and donate or simply text FBBC69 £5 to 70070 please spread the word. Cheers.

26-04-2012 Lakeland Sprinters
Hi everyone, sorry that we had to cancel the first Lakeland Sprinters session at Rowrah (on 25th April) - the gusty, very strong winds, coupled with rain and a very wet track, plus a temperature of only 6 degrees meant that really there was no option. We are as disappointed as you all are. So to help speed things up next week, here are a couple of things for you - firstly, the 2012 membership form.

Please fill one form in for each child that you have coming, and bring the completed forms to Rowrah next week.

Could you please pay particular attention to things like email addresses and contact numbers - our email address list, which we use to try and contact you so you know what is happening, was bang up to date at the end of the last season. When we tried to send the newsletter and reminders out this week, Penny got many failure messages - which usually means people have changed email address and unfortunately we don't know about it.

Finally, here is the Newsletter for those who didn't get an email!

Hope to see you all next Wednesday - weather permitting.

Tim, Penny, Don and Wendy - the Coaching Team"
