ashurst bike club

My name is Marc Laithwaite and I’m the ABC Cycle captain, responsible for road racing and time trials. We currently have a number of members who compete regularly in road racing events and a large percentage who time trial regularly.

The club targets time trials of all distances from 10 to 100 miles and some of our members compete in 12 and 24 hour events.

We ride a club 10 mile event organised by Merseyside Wheelers every Thursday evening throughout the summer and weekends are reserved for racing or Sportive events.

During the winter there is a regular Sunday ride, but this tends to be less frequent in summer due to racing events.  In addition there is also a winter chaingang session around the pimbo industrial estate - a very testing session, but caters for all abilities.
