Holcombe Active Cycling Group

The idea for a cycling group connected to Holcombe Active Sports Therapy came about from two directions. First, from the growing number of clients who come to the sports injury clinic who have indicated a love of cycling and feel that cycling in a group would be a motivating factor. There are also clients who know that cycling would be beneficial to their rehabilitation from injury and are presently forced to abstain from their beloved sport of running.

Secondly there are my personal friends who simply enjoy cycling and yet feel no need to belong to a formal cycling club. Besides cycling for fun and to improve/maintain fitness some of this group completed C2C in the summer of ’06. This year we have completed the Manchester to Blackpool, the 'Manchester 100' and the 'Lancashire Loop' charity events. The group will continue to meet throughout the winter on a monthly basis and details will be posted on this page.

The cycling group is intended for anybody who enjoys cycling on whatever machine they possess, and we hope that all will find someone with whom they can cycle with at a comfortable pace. There are no rules but we ask that all cyclists are capable of completing the route as described and also that they stop at the advertised refreshment point to allow for re-grouping. Backup for breakdown or being lost will be provided on a mutual support basis by exchanging mobile telephone numbers.

All ideas welcome to john@holcombeactive.co.uk

Have Fun,

John Kirkham
