Cycling clubs in Glasgow?

[Deleted member 20519]

Anyone know the best one to join/go out on club runs with? Cheers

Not sure of the best ones, but here is a link to a load of clubs in the Glasgow area

maybe just a case of seeing who is close to you and going out for a few runs with a couple of different clubs, see who you like best/get on with/will help you to achieve your own personal goals.

Going out with the wheelers on Saturday, too young to join them or Paisley Velo though.

I don't know much about Glasgow Clubs but I formed a chain gang with VC South, they seemed like a good bunch

That's true but have you seen their kit?

East Kilbride Road Club based, funnily enough, in East Kilbride. See the website for details of club runs/turbo nights etc. There's also a chain gang that goes from EK every Saturday morning at 9.30 and a more leisurely cafe run on a Sunday morning

You dont have to wear the club kit to get involved in training and club runs

I think you may find it difficult to find a club that will allow under 18s in the general club rides unless you are accompanied by an adult - there are issues with insurance and also disclosure / parental consent etc.

Johnstone Jets and Glasgow Riderz are an option - there will be a big mixture of ages here so it is not just all young kids but guys your age too.

An alternative to a formal club could be the the sky rides local when they start up again.

I am looking for a club to join but would be looking for a club that embraces women riders of all levels. If you know of one, please, please let me know.
Thanks

Not exactly a club, but you could join us Belles on Bikes.

You can propose one yourself local to you, just contact one of the organizers.

I would be most local to The Lomond Wheelers Club, but I think they are the bunch of eejits I've seen cycling up and down a busy A82 that I've slagged off on here before!

I'm sure they are a great bunch of guys and gals, but for some reason, it just isn't something that really appeals to me anyway.
