Swindon Wheelers Youth Membership

The evening of December the 16th marked the conclusion of this year’s Peloteens programme, expertly led by Paul Ashman at Moredon Sporting Hub. Swindon Wheelers provided awards and prizes, celebrating the commitment and enthusiasm shown by the young riders who participated.

Building on the success of the Peloteens initiative, we are pleased to announce the expansion of our membership to include riders aged 10 to 15. Effective immediately, this new Youth Membership category complements our existing Junior Membership for 16- and 17-year-olds, which remains unchanged.

To kick off this new membership category, we’re introducing a monthly Youth group ride to a local café, held on the first Saturday of each month and guided by Paul Ashman.

Participation in club rides by youth members is subject to receipt of a completed parental consent form and a riding ability assessment with a club coach. Riders under the age of 12 may only join designated youth rides with the agreement of the coach leading the session and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Youth Membership will be available at an affordable rate of £5, plus a £1 British Cycling administration fee.

As we grow this initiative, we warmly invite volunteers to support and join these rides. If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact YouthCoach@swindonwheelers.org or Bev Cejer welfare@swindonwheelers.org

For a safe and enjoyable experience, parental consent and a pre-ride assessment will be required.

We look forward to welcoming the next generation of enthusiastic cyclists to Swindon Wheelers.
