ABOUT NEWHALL CYCLING CLUB
Newhall.cc is a cycling club that welcomes members who share a deep commitment and passion for cycling. Our club offers a range of regular rides throughout the week, including a Tuesday night training ride, a Thursday social ride, a Saturday training ride, and a Sunday morning club run that concludes at a coffee shop.
Our rides vary in length, from midweek 45km (28miles) to longer 160km+ (100miles) rides to the coast in summer. We cater to different speeds, ranging from 28kph+ (17mph) for social rides to 32kph+ (20mph) for faster rides and training. While we strive to be an inclusive club, we do have a minimum level of ability for members, which requires them to ride solo for over an hour at 26kph (16mph) to enable them to ride faster in a group.
Additionally, we organise a European cycling trip once a year and domestic away trips. Our club also has members who race Time Trials, Crits, and CX, and we are happy to assist those who wish to participate in these events.
OUR RIDES
TUESDAY
If you're seeking a challenging and rewarding cycling experience, we invite you to join our drop training ride on a 50km out and back with a 38km timed segment.
We ride in small chain gang groups of different speeds to push your ability. This is an excellent opportunity to improve your skills, endurance and VO2max. We look forward to having you join!
THURSDAY
Looking for a fun and challenging social ride while catching up with your team mates? Join us for our weekly non-drop rides!
Our routes vary from week to week, ranging from flat to hilly terrain, covering around 50-60km. Come ride with us and enjoy the beautiful scenery while working on endurance.
SATURDAY
Looking for a challenging and fun training ride? Join us for a fixed 15km loop where we'll warm up with a group lap, followed by an individual threshold lap at 30 second stagered starts, trying to catch the rider ahead.
Finish off with a cool down lap and a coffee to chat about how deep you went. See you there!
SUNDAY
Join us for our Sunday club run, a social non-drop ride where the route varies in terrain and distance each week, but is mostly 80km+.
You'll ride in pairs and catch up with your teammates as you take turns leading and chatting with everyone. And of course, we'll end the ride with a well-deserved coffee. See you on Sunday!
