North Wales Cycling Clubs

[Ootini]

Sorry I couldn't add a prefix as the Welsh county's are out of date.

I'm just curious as to whether anyone here is a member of a Cycling Club in North Wales? I know there's one in Bangor. Not sure about others though. Was hoping for some opinions / advice.

There are very few if any clubs in North Wales or powys. I don't know of any

Wales seems to be a bit sparse. I have seen one or two cyclists who may belong to clubs, but to be honest they would scare rhe bejeezus out of me the way they are kitted out, and they look almost professional to be honest.

I'm near Holywell, not far from Prestatyn.

In that case the Prestatyn club would be your first choice. Ask Matthew T , he used to be in it so knows it well.

There's a relatively newish group started in/near Holywell call Holywell Avengers. My LBS told me about them but to be honest when I looked at some of their rides on Strava I realsied there were a bit out of my depth! Here's some links to some local clubs though:-
