The Surrey Hills Club for All Abilities & Types of Cyclist

WELCOME TO THE VCGH WEBSITE
Our aim is to encourage cycling in all its forms and the promotion of physical health and fitness through cycling. Don't be put off by the pictures of us all in our club kit, we represent a wide variety of abilities. Many of us had not been a member of any other club before joining VCGH so we make a big effort to make new faces feel welcome. Try us out!

In the website there are rides for you to join, forums for you to participate in, local routes to download and photos to browse.

CLUB OVERVIEW
VC Godalming + Haslemere was created from the members and assets of Rother Valley CC and VC Godalming 3 May 2007. Unlike some more commercial clubs, it is a club run and directly controlled by local cyclists for ALL cyclists in Godalming, Haslemere & the surrounding area.

There are Mountain Bike rides every Sunday and Road rides every Saturday with occasional rides for each discipline on each day of the weekend. Rides are posted on the website and registered users will receive an email containing the ride details. It is free to register on the website but membership is required to ride with us after a couple of test rides.

As well as weekly club rides, we have riders entered for numerous events, both national and international and have both a road racing and mountain bike team in action. Other events are frequent and posted in the Calendar . These range from social nights out to Velodrome taster sessions, to rambling mountain-bike rides & regular training sessions. We even organise training holidays in hot climates!

Most rides start and finish at the Care for Health Clubhouse next to Godalming train station or at Haslemere train station. Rides will vary but will normally take in some nice climbs, descents, views and even the occasional café or pub! Check out the information posted in the ride details to select a ride type suitable for you.

CLUB INFO

Have a look through the following to learn more about the club or to download a membership form. All links open up a new window and you will need Adobe Reader to view the contents.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP
If you are interested in joining VCGH, firstly have a look at the club rides to see what events might interest you, then join a ride. If you like what you find then if you haven't already, register on the website so that you receive details of all rides posted on the website. If after you have come out for a couple of rides with us you want to keep riding with us you'll have to complete the membership form and pay a membership fee for the year.

If you have only registered on the website recently and have not yet ridden with the club then you are most welcome to come out for a couple of rides with us first. If after this you continue to ride with us then we will expect you to pay the membership.

Fees for the year are just £15 which goes towards the Clubs affiliations for SL, IMBA, BCF, RTTC and CTC as well as the various small overheads that the running of the club incurs.

If you have any questions, then please email us with them.

Cycling Plus disses Godalming!
Posted by sr0233099 on 2008-11-18 17:29:41 (20 reads)

A feature on routes in this month's Cycling Plus says Godalming doesn't top the list of most people's premier cycling destinations with a significant proportion of stockbrokers and golf professionals! See if you agree on p132 of the December issue and to see their route in the region.

Bicycle Maintenance Course

I recently attended the Weldtech Silver Plus 2 day course at Sidcup Cycle Centre and for someone who is not a natural mechanic I came away with a thorough understanding of how a bike and all the bits work.

I thoroughly recommend this course, which involved a full strip down and rebuild, together with diagnostic and adjustment.

Cost £245, to include the Park Tools Big Blue book.

There is also a 1 day Roadside Maintenance course.
