Welcome to the Velo Club Lincoln

book now

Welcome to the Lincoln based cycling club with accredited GO RIDE junior section. VC Lincoln comprises more than 140 members involved in all aspects of recreational riding, competitive training and racing. We have a calendar of rides every week of the year ranging from relaxed sociable trips through to high intensity chain gangs for the more competitive. Some members are pretty serious whilst others are training for new challenges in the UK or overseas, or simply riding socially and safely whilst steadily improving general fitness and wellbeing. We are a friendly lot and you are sure to find a warm welcome.

Our British Cycling trained and accredited coaches run a very active junior section which combines handling competences and skills with junior races which have a proven record of developing juniors into seniors, and the youngsters just love it! We are in the high season now with light nights and great weather, the Grand Tours are on TV, The National Cycling Championships have been held in Lincoln for the first time and cycling in the city is at a high water mark ! We hold a track session every Wednesday in the summer which is a great opportunity to show up and take a look at us (from 6:45pm), the kids and seniors will be racing round our dedicated 1 mile race track. You’ve read this far, so why not make a diary note and come down to Yarborough Sports Centre (LN1 3SP) this Wednesday – as I said, we are a friendly lot who just love riding our bikes.

Why join us ? For all sports and activities, there is a huge amount of information on the internet and a comprehensive choice of magazines, but at Velo, our members are able to offer first class advice and encouragement based upon decades of riding experience. Tell us your objectives and you’ll find that there will be a handful of people who can immediately guide you or your child and, they’ll support you on your journey.

To distil it all down, we all love riding our bikes and welcome you to come along and take your riding to a new level within a socially proactive environment.

🚴‍♀️🚴 National Championships 🚴🚴‍♀️

This weekend saw us at South Shields for the National Cyclo-Cross Championships. The season finale for many, with training programmes peaking around this event and all those miles in the bag, it was sure to be a great weekend. 

Spread across both days it was a tale of two halves in terms of the weather. Saturday was bright and still, but pretty cold. The early races battled frozen off cambers which thawed as the day went on. 

The sandpit was deep, soft, rideable for some. There were steps, a steep sandy climb, slippery crossings of the old velodrome and loads of slippery off camber.

Lining up first for VC Lincoln was Ben in the Vet 40s. Starting on the sandy promenade he put in a great ride to finish 32nd 🏅 Well done Ben!

Next up it was Toby in the Under 16s. In the biggest field of the day he battled hard, putting in a fantastic ride to finish 45th 🏅Well done Toby!

Bring Saturday to a close for VC Lincoln, Freya and Alex lined up in the Under 14 girls. Freya put in a really impressive ride to finish 9th🏅 and Alex had a great ride to finish 20th🏅 Brilliant girls, well done! 

Overnight the rain and wind rolled in and it was a different game altogether. The wind was bitter and rain meant mud! Mark stepped up to the challenge in the Senior race on what was now an incredibly slippery course. He put in a great ride to finish 20th 🏅 Well done Mark!

Rider photos to follow from Bob, once he's dried out and warmed up! 

For those that can't bear to hang up their cross bikes just yet, next weekend there is a Leicester League event. Best of luck to those riding that! 🚴‍♀️🚴
