Kent Velo Girls is an all girls' cycling club set up in June 2008 to encourage women to take part in and enjoy cycling. Our 60 members take part in regular rides for training, and in 2009 have taken part in Time trials, 17 girls have taken part in 100 mile rides, many for the first time, several more have done rides to Paris, and other charity rides, and numerous cyclo-sportive events around the UK.
It is for women of any fitness to take part in, take up or go back to cycling and then to enjoy it at a level that suits them.
We have a programme of Road Rides to suit all women, from an easy ride on Monday afternoon, to a Faster Sunday Road Ride, and Time Trials and Hill Climbs for more serious riders. Many more rides on offer - see calendar page for details.
The next introductory courses will be run in the spring '10 when the weather is warmer. Newcomers are always welcome to join.
The intention of our girls club is to ride regularly with a like-minded group of people, have fun, get fit or fitter and become more proficient on a bike in one of the loveliest counties in England.
The policy of the club is that we ride at the speed of the slowest rider:
