Joining WSJCC

Our insurance is through Cycling UK. They stipulate that we can offer 3 club events to non-member guests. After this young riders need to be Members of WSJCC. Joining is via family membership and is simple via our website .

Road Rides for 8 to 12s are usually about 10 – 15 miles on quiet country lanes. Usually any bike is fine. . Parents please use your own judgement as to whether your child is ready for the road, bearing in mind that Cycling UK says traffic awareness develops around the ages of 8 to 10. https://www.cyclinguk.org/article/cycling-guide/cycling-road-children

We also run from time to time a 12-15 year olds road ride, either as a course designed to bridge from young rider to senior rider, or just as a faster and further ride for fun. We’d love to hear from any keen road bike riders of this age and we will arrange a series of rides. (See our Young Riders Policy for age rules and eticut when joining an ‘adult’ club ride.
