As the year draws to a close we are pleased to announce that the club has recently donated the funds we have raised this year to our club charity, Doorway. This marks the culmination of a few events we have run during 2024 including Fletcher’s Flapjack Audax, our Hardriders Time Trial and our Annual Awards Night…

On the 6th July a group of ten Wheelers met in the New Forest for a day of gravel riding on a mix of gravel and mountain bikes. The trip was brilliantly organised by Jim who’s kindly provided this super account of our day…. The omens looked grim. “Double blobs too much for me” –…

Our club Audax Series for 2024 concluded with our traditional Fish and Chip day trip to the seaside in perfect conditions on 29th June. Results and medal awards are shown further below.

We are arranging some specific Chippenham Wheeler group riding sessions on these evenings. As we have done in previous years and had enough riders, we have formed 2 or even 3 groups of differing abilities. This is…

We had a blast on the 24th edition of Fletcher’s Flapjack 109km Audax on Sunday 3rd March. 131 riders audaciously braved the icy start for the promise of vast quantities of cake, flapjack and the traditional beans on toast lunch, in what turned out to be a lovely sunny day. Eric Fletcher would have been…

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Skittles Night on 17th November. It was lovely to see all parts of our club represented across the 6 teams and everyone enjoying themselves. The racing side of the club clearly had the competitive edge, with both of the time trial teams ending up in the Grand…
