Welcome

Fareham Wheelers caters for all standards of cycling, from beginner & youth to veteran. The club has a friendly atmosphere and is also competitive when it comes to racing and time trials. Founded in 1927, the club has a great history which is celebrated in pictures here.

Every Sunday morning throughout the year, we meet for a Club group ride - the “club run”. With three groups to choose from, you can join in either the social/taster group, the intermediate group or the fast group around the Hampshire countryside, finishing at a tea shop for refreshment. Rides vary between 25 to 60 miles, you choose.

During the spring and summer season the club holds time trials over various distances and promotes two road races. FWCC has an active road racing team and provides coaching support for Junior and Youth riders. Several members take part in racing at the Mountbatten Centre track at Portsmouth and at the Thruxton and Goodwood circuits.

Whether you ride for leisure or sport, cycling is a great way to get fit and stay in shape and a club is the best place to get started, share advice, find out about cycling events and of course, enjoy riding with other keen cyclists. We meet socially on Tuesday evenings at Catisfield Memorial Hall, Fareham, 7:30 to 9:30 pm. For more details, follow the options under the About Us heading in the menu above.
