A CYCLING CLUB WITH A DIFFERENCE
Welcome to a cycling club with a difference. Unlike traditional clubs that have a defined geographical base, the Virtual Cycling Club has no borders. Instead it’s an online community of cycling friends who provide information and support to each other in training and racing — for all forms of cycling, and especially for time trialling.
The Virtual Cycling Club is affiliated to Cycling Time Trials in the UK, enabling its members to ride in open TT events in any of the twenty two districts across the country.
We’re a club for absolutely anyone with an interest in cycling. Our members are enthusiasts with varying levels of cycling experience. Alongside their association with the VCC some maintain links with traditional cycling clubs in their local areas. That’s not a requirement though, as the VCC is affiliated as a club in its own right and is a welcoming home to “first claim” members.
We’re also here as a club of convenience for independent cyclists such as:
— students who have temporarily lost touch with their “home” club;
— triathletes who need some TT practice for their bike leg;
— absolute beginners who want to give time trialling a try.
We’ll probably get to meet each other at TT events around the UK, or on the occasional club ride. But even if we don’t get to meet in person, we’ll stay in touch and remain a community in the online world with an identity in the real world.
If you’ve never tried a time trial before, you can find out more about time trial events by visiting the CTT site or by dropping us an email. Find out more about VCC membership by clicking here.
