Vale Of Belvoir Cycling Club
About our Club
VBCC is all about encouraging people to get out on their bikes and ride with fellow cycling enthusiasts. Whether you are new to the sport or an experienced cyclist we want you to come along and enjoy the ride in a friendly and supportive group.
Have any questions, feel free to drop us an email.
Where we ride
We are situated on the edge of the beautiful Vale of Belvoir on the Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire border. Most of our rides start from Bingham Market Square. (what3words ///blown.headset.clan)
What to expect
We are predominately a road cycling club and most of our rides are aimed at this. However we embrace all types of cycling and want everyone to feel included. So if you love mountain or gravel biking you will be sure to find other like minded members who are happy to come on a ride. When you join our club, it becomes your club and we encourage all members to get involved and post their own rides too.
It's not all about the bike!
We’re a sociable bunch and enjoy getting together for a chat about our latest cycling purchases (or not!) Our Christmas and Summer socials are a good chance to show our fellow members that we do wear other clothes apart from Lycra!
Most rides involve a cafe stop and/or a post ride debrief at the pub. Shots are not compulsory on your birthday but it is a Saturday club ride tradition!
Ladies only
We have rides that are specifically aimed at encouraging women into cycling, where they can feel supported and encouraged by other women.
Our female membership now makes up almost 50% of the club and that is something we are really proud of. You can find out more about these rides and what other members feel about them here:

Here is how some of our members feel about our club
I was quite nervous about my first ride with the club but I really didn’t need to be and was made to feel welcome straight away, soon making some fantastic friends.
VBCC is an awesome cycling club with extremely friendly members, rides to suit all levels and abilities as well as some excellent social events. Joining the club was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Joining VBCC gave me a real cycling family that helped my cycling & gave me a great friendship group. Mid week rides are great and well paced to suit everyone. Weekend rides are a chance to challenge yourself and social rides are just a great laugh and of course the Christmas party! Great club to belong to. Thank you.
