Club Ride Safety and Rules
To ensure the safety of all riders, participants should:

Report any medical conditions, allergies or injuries to the ride leader
Exchange contact and emergency numbers with the ride leader
Carry a puncture repair kit, spare inner tube and pump
Wear high visibility clothing
Wear approved cycle helmets (ANSI Z90.4, SNELL B90, EN 1078 or equivalent national standard). This is compulsory and the ride leader will not take anyone out that is not wearing one.

RUN SESSIONS

We are not holding any coached run sessions at present but we meet monthly at Nonsuch Park Run in Cheam and occasionally organise sessions with Collingwood Athletics Club. Details are given in the WTC members WhatsApp group.

GYM SESSIONS

There are no regular gym sessions but both Westcroft Leisure Centre and Cheam Leisure Centre have fully fitted gyms with all the equipment you need to help your training.

We run specific 6 week Strength and Conditioning sessions twice a year, so look out for details on our WTC Members WhatsApp group.
