University of Kent Cycling (UKC) is a multi-discipline sports club for anyone who loves having fun on two wheels! We cater for riders of all levels; whether you prefer to watch cycling, cycle leisurely with friends, complete challenging sportives or aim to race competitively at Regional and/or National Level... UKC is for you!
We hold weekly rides on Wednesday's and Sunday's for both the Road cyclists (Casual and Race Training groups) and Mountain Bikers. Amongst this we also organise regular socials both cycling and non cycling related, so there's something for everyone!
UKC's Cycle Hub opened on 11th May 2017, we are hoping this will encourage many more of you to join the club as Cycling at the University will be much more accessible and affordable!
For those who want to start but are put off by the substantial start off costs of buying a new bike, UKC members will now be able to hire bikes from the Cycling Hub free of charge.
Having problems fixing your bike? No need to worry anymore as there will be mechanics on hand at the Cycling Hub.
Before joining us on your first ride please check out the Getting Started page as there you will find links to lots of really helpful information.
You can also follow UKC Cycling on Twitter (@UKCCycling) and Instagram (@ukccycling_) This year we are also introducing a news blog for the website. The blog will be open for all riders to send in reports about their rides and we will post them. As a Committee we will also use the blog to keep all riders updated with what we are up to, so everyone is in the loop.
Have any more Questions? Ask us! If you would like to ask any questions please feel free to contact any of the Committee members; you can find their contact details and more about them here. All of us are very enthusiastic about our sport and would love to help/guide you as much as we can!
If you have any ideas of events you'd like us to organise, please get in touch. We would love to hear your ideas.
Or if you would like to be more involved in the club, we will be looking for keen volunteers for our fundraising events and to lead rides so do let us know!
Happy Riding All! And don't forget to "Strava it"... or it didn't happen ;)
