Members Benefits

1) Free or heavily discounted British Cycling membership for your 1st year (new British Cycling members only) www.britishcycling.org.uk/clubs/membership

2) Heavily discounted membership to Cycling UK. Go to www.cyclinguk.org/join, select ‘affiliated membership’ and enter the code: 90063505 when prompted. We highly recommend joining either British Cycling or Cycling UK, if only for the 3rd party liability insurance. There’s lots of other benefits as well, including discounts at bike shops like Chain Reaction Cycles and Halfords.

3) We're affiliated to Cycling Time Trials. You'll be able to compete in time trials around the country, from club events to national championships. We run time trials almost every Thursday evening from the end of March to the end of August, and a few bigger Open events including the famous 'Charity 10' and 'Nev Crane 25'. For more info, see our CTT page: www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/clubs/view/340

4) Kids! HSBC UK Go-Ride (aimed at Under 16s) coaching most Tuesday evenings at Sleaford Rugby Club. For more info: www.sleafordwheelers.co.uk/GoRide.html

5) Our HQ is a pub! Monthly committee meetings and evening time trials are based at The Horseshoes Pub in Silk Willoughby (www.horseshoessilkwilloughby.co.uk/). Ace!

6) Kit! You get to buy our awesome kit as well as (very reasonably priced) club hoodies & t-shirts. You can buy discounted kit when bulk order windows are open (usually 2 or 3 times per year)

7) Women! We've got loads of women in our club these days, thanks to the amazing efforts of our hard-working ladies committee. We have a women-only time trial series, women's on and off-road social rides throughout the year, and even a few off-road coaching sessions! For more details: www.sleafordwheelers.co.uk/Women.html

8) Club rides! We have weekly club rides almost every Sunday; often splitting into 3 groups at various distances and speeds.

9) We're very sociable! not so long ago, we visited the Tour de Yorkshire, The Tour of Britain, the Lincoln Grand Prix, and had off-road rides at Rutland Water, Sherwood Pines, and Dalby Forest. Sometimes we even do non-cycling stuff, like quiz nights at the Solo Bar or having our own dog race at Peterborough Greyhounds (that really happened!). Who knows what we'll get up to this year?

10) Events! As well as putting on lots of time trials, we also organize a round of the Lincolnshire Cyclo Cross Association league, a round of the Go Green Grass Track series, and a round of the Lincs Road Race League. If you don't race, we always need volunteers to help out, or you can just spectate and cheer on The Mighty Wheelers!
