Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

December 25, 2015 / / No comments

Good afternoon everyone, just a very quick post to wish our members and everyone else who’s been a part of the club in any way a Merry Christmas and our best wishes for the new year.

2015 was probably the first ‘big’ year for the club, we’ve had great success with our club, development and easy wheelers ride, we’ve had success in Time Trials and races and we wish to grow on that in the new year. We’ve been to Scotland ‘on tour’, been abroad, we’ve cycled the length of England on the coast to coast. and done many many events.

We’ve loads planned for next year so keep your eyes open on our news feed. For now, enjoy Christmas and we’ll see you all soon.

GNAAS to become Club 2016 charity

December 1, 2015 / / No comments

On behalf of the BCC Committee I’d like to announce the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS)
as the Club’s adopted charity.
As a cycling club we are all too aware of the risks the roads and hills present and, sadly, many of us have at some time witnessed or known an occasion when the Air Ambulance has saved the lives of loved ones, friends and acquaintances.
We are all very aware of the fantastic service they offer and know that one day it might be our turn to be saved.
The JustGiving page can be found here and will be open for donations at any time: www.justgiving.com/blaydoncycling or bit.ly/blaydoncharity
Events and appeals will be organised throughout the year, so please give as generously as you can. Details of these events will be published in our usual way through our social media channels.
We hope you are all as enthusiastic as we are with the decision to support them.

 

Regards,

Blaydon Cycle Club Committee

 

to find out more about the GNAAS, where it covers, and what life saving missions they fly with your donations visit their website at www.greatnorthairambulance.co.uk/  – The Great North Air Ambulance is a registered charity operating three helicopters, operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year responding to over 1000 incidents per year.

October 8, 2015 / / No comments

We’re almost at 500 facebook likes, please spread the word visit us at facebook.com/blaydoncycling.

Here you will find the clubs main social media presence, we offer rides for riders just starting off right up to budding racers, we have over 100 members and counting and we’re making noise with some great achievements over the season in various disciplines.  We’re very laid back and have a thriving and active membership both on rides and on our members on-line chat areas.

If you or someone you know is into cycling, or would like that little push to get into it, come and join us for a ride and see what we do. We’ve grown from an initial 9 members in 2013 to 100+ with people of all abilities, all interests and all with a wealth of things to share.

as the traditional ‘off season’ starts we’ll still be here building up to the start of the 2016 season where we have big plans in the making. There’s never been a better time to become a part of a North East club that’s getting bigger, and better every time a new member signs up. You can be a part of it and we look forward to seeing you. We’re going places.

We meet at multiple times through the week check bit.ly/blaydonevents for a full list of club activity within the coming weeks.

We’ve done it, welcome to our newest member Alice who made the landmark 100th Blaydon Cycle club member. We’re just coming up to two years ‘officially’ for the club, and we’ve went from making a facebook page, to 8 members, up to 100 and growing. A huge thank you to each and every one of you who rides with us and helps us out in various ways.

We’re growing all the time, there’s never been a better time to get into cycling, especially now for the price of a bag of crisps and a pint… you can join us for the rest of the year! (That’s £5, and aye.. I’d say that’s an expensive pub too!)

Blaydon Kit: Pre order information

July 29, 2015 / / No comments

Good afternoon all, we’ve the potential for a new order for kit coming up soon, we were not planning one but due to high demand we’ll be order soon, first of all we are going to get the ‘casual’ order sorted. While you are waiting, and if you want new ON THE BIKE wear, please make sure you understand sizing information..

Visit www.endurasport.com custom section for size details, click on the items in the range (note: we won’t be offering them all) and click the sizing tab.

We will be using an online cart, this means once orders are placed they can’t be changed (to avoid confusion our end). We can then also use the admin system to alert everyone by email receipt when they are here. you also have a more solid proof of purchase.

Please bear with us, this will go live as soon as we can, all items need to be uploaded, double checked etc etc. We’ll let you know when it’s ready but this post is just to alert you asking we will be ordering jerseys etc soon, and it gives you time to check out sizing info etc.

Facebook: Race HQ

June 30, 2015 / / No comments

Just a quick line to let everyone know our ‘Blaydon Race HQ’ page has been removed, Originally this was a place for the race team to discuss and plan TT and race events, Through time and through some deliberation, we have decided to remove this group and all race planning will be done via the members chat forum, this helps everyone in long long run by making all club activity more inclusive and giving you less places to have to check to keep up to date with the latest happening within the club.

Members chat is open to subscribed members of the club if you are not a member of that page please ask us how to get access, if you’re not a member of the club, please refer to the main profile at facebook.com/blaydoncycling for all our latest news, to race you must be a British Cycling member (race license needed) as well as be a club member.
