Our club is welcoming to all types of rider, from leisure cyclist to competitive racer. Five groups meet at the Carfax every Sunday morning, each with different speeds and distances in mind.

Horsham is surrounded by fantastic Sussex countryside and quiet roads. The club is a great way of discovering new routes, making friends and perhaps opening yourself to new cycling challenges.

You can join us for a ride or two without being a member, why not give us a try? See the rides page for more details.

Reliability Success

HC Oct 2009 RT 006.jpg

Our recent reliability trial on Sunday 11th Oct was a great success. For the first time the Club offered a choice of three different distances to suit all ride groups.

A total of 45 riders took part, 30 from our own Club, others from the Crawley Wheelers, East Grinstead CC and a few guests. All rides converged at the main checkpoint at Washbrooks Farm, Hurstpierpoint. All rides then took the same route back to Horsham via Wineham Lane which was a long gradual never ending climb up to Warninglid. The majority completed the rides within their chosen time standard +/- 10 minutes, which we allow.

Thanks to Robert Skeet who did most of the work in planning the routes and preparing the route sheets. Also to Anne Maher for assisting with the registration at the start, to Mike Crossett as checker at Washbrooks Farm and finally to Karen McGovern for refreshments at the Forest Youth Wing.  

The next RT is Newhaven / Wiston on Sun 22nd Nov 09 which will be a Horsham Cycling / Crawley Wheelers production.

HC Social Group Downhill Competition 09 024.jpg

On Sunday 27th September 09, the social group had its Downhill competition on a hill east of the Dial Post garden centre on the road to Ashurst. No pedalling was allowed after an initial half revolution to get going, and the winner is the rider who freewheels the furthest.

Philip Van der Veen achieved the furthest distance.

2nd was Declan Dunne at 7.90m shorter.

3rd was young James Delve at a further 2.20m from an entry of thirteen.

Philip is thus the winner of the final trophy to be awarded at the Christmas evening.
