Just one month to go to the New Spring Lambs Sportive, to be held on Sunday, 6th April 2014.
Well, bookings on the New Spring Lambs Sportive are now happening very fast. This will be the biggest event we've organised so far and we're going to provide you with the perfect day. Barleylands is a great venue for Spring Lambs with masses of parking and an enormous HQ to accommodate 100's of riders booking on. We've modified the course too, adding a very steep hill at the start and a great fast downhill to the finish, so you'd better be ready for it!
You know that we look after riders well but this year we're going even further with a lovely hot pasta and cake feast at the end. And if you want to meet your family at the finish then Barleylands is a great venue for their day out before you get back with lots to tell of your Essex adventure. So, book on to Spring Lambs as soon as you can by going to www.essexsportive.com and following the links to SiEntries where you'll find even more information about the day.

Billericay Circular Cycle Ride
In order to bring further leisure cycling to the local area, Essex Roads Cycling Club has recently worked in cooperation with Billericay Town Council to produce a 15 mile cycle route taking in the best sights of the country within the locality. Essex Roads officially cycled the route on Saturday 1st October 2011 after meeting at Billericay train Station. This is a lovely ride, so please try it out!

Cyclists and Horses
We’ve had communication from Sustrans asking us to be understanding in the way we interact with horses ridden on the counties roads. In full recognition and agreement Essex Roads Cycling Club has developed a protocol for its riders to follow so as to reduce the risk of horses becoming frightened by passing cyclists. If you are an Essex Roads Member then please read the Sustrans Code of Conduct and follow our ERCC protocol for passing horses on Essex roads.

Bike store discounts
Did you know that by joining Essex Roads Cycling Club you can get generous discounts in some local bike shops! On production of your membership card Herongate Cycles in Herongate will be able to give you very good deals on an array of bikes and equipment, and Biketrax in Brentwood are able to give you 10% off any shop price listed, as well as Yellow Jersey Cycles in Billericay.

. . . . . and we are still welcoming new members :-

Have you ever thought just how you might start cycling with a club? Did you know that every Sunday we organise four types of rides: novice, touring, club and training rides so you can pick the distance and speed to suit you best - then graduate to the next group up as you get fitter. We even do early-bird rides on a Sunday starting at sun rise. Everything is possible with Essex Roads!

And we don’t just cycle on-road, we go off-road riding too. Practically every other Saturday we organise off-road rides in all parts of our beautiful county. We also organise off-road and on-road trips and endurance rides. You can experience this too with Essex Roads!

Are you a youngster who is keen to take up cycling – we are a registered British Cycling Go-ride club and can start you off in the right direction.

Are you a more mature rider and have waited long enough to achieve your cycling ambitions – many of our riders are in their 60’s and 70’s and cycle every week!
Are you a lady cyclist – we have many lady members in our club, and families too. All these things are possible with Essex Roads!

How about taking part in a time trial – a race against the clock like they do in the Tour de France? We organise weekly events of this type from April all the way through to August. Have you thought about competing in national time trials along with riders from other clubs – our members take part in many ECCA events each year.

Ever thought of riding a sportive . How about developing your fitness in the dry over the winter – every Wednesday we hold a winter turbo training class right through from October to March to develop your core fitness and cycling techniques. This is happening with Essex Roads!

And in 2014 we are going even further! We’re introducing more member benefits so that you can save even more on your cycling by becoming a member of our rapidly expanding club – we increased our membership last year to well over 300 club members! We are working on developing more events and expanding our portfolio of activities to appeal to even more cyclists. Above all, we are turning into a cycling club for everyone. Come and meet us and we will turn you into the cyclist you want to become!
