Berwick Wheelers Cycling Club has a strong tradition of time trialling.
Its members compete in open events throughout England and Scotland during the
season. The club also operates its own Time Trial Series/league on a Thursday
evening and Sunday morning from April to September. We also organise an Open
10 mile Time Trial Event
Road Races/APR's
Although Berwick Wheelers Cycling Club do not organise these types of events we do have members
that compete in APR’s and Road Races. These are generally open
events and are found on the SCU (link) or BCF web sites.
Training road runs within the club are generally organised through
the e-group or by phone and can change from week to week.
Club Run
Club Runs are an important part of life in Berwick Wheelers Cycling Club. These are
organised steady paced and cover between 35 & 60 miles. (Depending
on the group and weather) They take place on Sundays and we meet
at Bridge Street Car Park, behind Tweed Cycles in Berwick-Upon-Tweed,
at 10am. New members or members from visiting clubs are always
welcome on the club run and are encouraged to phone in advance.
(See Contacts)
Numbers can change from week to week depending on the cycling calendar.
(Club Runs follow roads only so it is advisable to use a road bike
rather than a mountain bike, unless you are a strong cyclist. Due
to the distance that we cycle it is advisable to be self-sufficient
and carry the essentials for long rides. (See club run essentials).
Club Run essentials
What should I bring?
This depends on the weather you should be able to decide for
yourself what you need to keep warm and dry if it rains.
A helmet is compulsory.
A spare inner tube or two is advisable, tyre levers, pump,
water bottle or two, money for refreshments, sense of humour
and your bike. Mobile phones are a good idea.
Mountain Biking
Berwick is ideally placed for mountain-biking, situated between
the Lammermuir Hills and the Cheviots. Occasional trips are organised
to the Cheviots, Lammermuirs and Glentress forest (link) at Peebles.
