We are a friendly cycling club based in Sheffield, dedicated to giving riders of all abilities the opportunity to enjoy every aspect of cycling. Saturday and Sunday club runs often visit the Peak District National Park where the terrain is perfect for enjoying your ride. We have training rides on Tuesday and Thursday nights. See the
Club Runs section for further details.
Regarded as the fastest growing cycling club in Sheffield, Sheffrec isn’t all about competing and winning races. With membership growing month by month, our new members have quickly adopted Sheffrec ways by helping out at many events, marshalling and more importantly turning up on a Sunday morning club run and representing Sheffrec out in the Peak District.
2009 is shaping up to be a busy year for us. We have a 2-up 25 mile open time trial in March, a 10 mile open time trial in May, this will incorporate our club championships and a 25 mile time open trial in August. All these events are promoted for Cycling Time Trials under their rules & regulations. In addition, we will continue to run the British Cycling Wombwell Youth League which is part of the White Rose Youth League. 2009 sees us take over the running of the Monsal Hillclimb in Derbyshire, this event has been running since 1930. The event attracts riders from local club level to seasoned professionals. Past winners include Tom Simpson, Malcolm Elliott and more recently Russell Downing, Dean Downing and Adam Blythe.
As a club are affiliated to the British Cycling Federation, the country’s internationally recognised governing body of cycle sport in BMX, Cycle Speedway, Cyclo-Cross, Mountain Bike, Road and Track. For Time Trialists, we are also affiliated to the Cycling Time Trials (CTT) and the NMCF for the 2009 Season.
We have a monthly club meeting, which is held at the Princess Royal Public House. This is located on Slinn Street which is just off Commonside in the Walkley area of Sheffield 6. See the
Club Meetings section for further details. Please note that with the exception of the Join Us, Buy & Sell and Website Help forum boards, only registered users can now view and post on the forums.
