Fareham Wheelers Cycling Club

founded 1927

 

Fareham Wheelers

 

Fareham Wheelers caters for all standards of cycling, from beginner to veteran. The club has a friendly atmosphere and is also competitive when it comes to racing and time trials.

Every Sunday morning throughout the year, we meet for the club run. With two groups to choose from you can join in either a leisurely ride or for the more enthusiastic a training ride of between 40-60 miles around the Hampshire countryside, finishing at a tea shop for refreshment.

During the spring and summer season the club holds time trials over various distances and currently has an active road racing team, which is supported by Speltham Contracts. Several members take part in racing at the Goodwood circuit and the Mountbatten Centre track at Portsmouth.

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 Monday evenings (except Bank Holidays) at Wallington Community Hall, Fareham, 8:00 to 10:00pm. For more details, follow the options under the About Us heading in the menu above.

Recent praise for the FWCC club run: "I have ridden a couple of the Saturday beginner rides. The rides are an enjoyable and welcoming experience which show the club, and cycling, in an excellent light and the guys leading the ride, Nigel, Gavin and Gareth are a real credit. I am well accustomed to the usual club attitude i.e. turn up on the Sunday clubs run, only to be ignored and then dropped, usually miles from home. The approach taken by Fareham Wheelers is completely the opposite of this and I hope it gets you the number of new members you deserve - it certainly convinced me to join!"
