Six years since we started out as Saturday Morning Cycling Club, we’re delighted to announce we have changed our name to Lagan Valley Cycling Clubβ€οΈππ We started with five lads and one lady going out at 6am on Saturday mornings, so as to be back for 9am. A few more started coming out with us and SMCC Lisburn was born πͺ Over the years the club has grown to over 50 members, cycling some memorable routes across Northern Ireland and even as far away as Majorca, with many friends made along the way. Fundraising is very important to our club and charity cycles have raised money for the NI Children’s Hospice, Parkview Special School, Lisburn Special Olympic Team and NI Air Ambulance. Every April we host the Lagan Valley Challenge sportive attracting cyclists from other clubs and raising funds for local charitiesπ
Lagan Valley Cycling Club is a sociable and friendly club. New members are welcome and we have different levels of club runs covering 30 – 50 + miles. Club members participate in a number of sportive events, dual and triathlon events and winter mountain biking on local trails to complement their regular road cycling ridesπ΄βοΈπ΄πΌβοΈ Keep an eye out on the road for club members in our new kit, individually getting their daily exercise whilst we’re in lockdown! We think it looks brilliant and hope to be out on club rides when current restrictions are liftedβοΈπ Stay safe.
