Newbury Road Club wants to take you for a ride!

Two alternatives to watching World Cup, Wimbledon or even the Tour de France this month

1. Junior Cycling Challenge age 14+

It’s a digital 1,000-metre time trial. We'll put you on a real racing bike hooked up to a virtual screen and you'll sprint it out and try to smash the current record of 1 minute 31 seconds.

It’s completely free, a brilliant bit of fun, and a great way to test your fitness. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just want to show off your leg power, come down and see where you land on the leader board! Tag a mate who thinks they’re faster than you. 

When: Saturday July 18th

Time: 9 am until 2 pm

Where: Newbury Market Place, in the Newbury Road Club Gazebo

2. The 'Tour de Force' - New riders start here

To celebrate the end of the Tour de France, we're inviting anyone who's always wanted to get out on a bike, experience our beautiful countryside and meet lots of new people.

You can bring any kind of bike - e-bikes too - which you're able to ride for a couple of hours. We've designed some routes suited to different abilities and experience and our trained Ride Leaders will make sure you're never left behind.

It won't cost you anything to come along: just follow this link to sign up to our Spond app. Don't forget to come dressed appropriately for the weather and you must have a cycling helmet.

When: Sunday July 26th

Time: 8:45am for 9:00 departure

Where: Newbury Market Place, by the Town Hall
