Kettering Community Cycle Club
Kettering Community Cycle Club was set up in 2022 by Brightwayz and was supported by Cycling UK, Northampton Sport and Sport England (for insurance, storage costs, maintenance and sessions etc).
The club organised monthly 'Tour Your Town' short rides within the urban area of Kettering and Burton Latimer for all ages and abilities to enable new riders and those lacking confidance to join a friendly, social ride. Children were also welcome (accompanied by responsible adult).
Tour Your Town rides were on the last Sunday of every month throughout the year. We held some additional rides on request of members, such as a special celebratory 'Coronation Ride' in May 2023.
Throughout the summer we also offered 'Visit Your Villages' rides which are longer but still leisurely and social led rides in our local countryside. A free coffee or soft drink was available to anyone who joined a ride.
Unfortunately the Kettering Community Cycle Club rides are currently on hold, but may return under the newly formed Stride & Ride CIC.
The community cycle rides provided a stepped way to get into cycling. For those wanting a bit more of a challenge our friends at Kettering Cycling Club are who to speak to - KCC is for more ambitious, longer distance, more competitive riders.
Kettering Community Cycle Club are grateful for the support of all our trained volunteer rider leaders.
