Our Journey & Approach

Founded in 2019, Newbury Velo has quickly established itself as a vibrant force in the local cycling and triathlon community.

We’re proud to be recognised as both British Cycling’s Club of the Year and Children and Young People Club of the Year 2025 —honours that reflect the passion, inclusivity, and dedication of our members, volunteers, and partners. Though still young, we’re honoured to be entrusted with the stewardship of the prestigious Newbury Triathlon from 2025—an iconic event with a rich heritage dating back to 1987.

Our philosophy embraces cycling in all its forms and welcomes riders of every ability. Whether you're seeking social Sunday rides through the picturesque West Berkshire countryside, eager to challenge yourself in road or off-road competition, curious about experiencing track cycling at the velodrome, or interested in developing your technical skills and maintenance knowledge—Newbury Velo offers a path for you.

We celebrate cycling's wonderful diversity. You'll find traditional road rides alongside adventurous trail expeditions, structured time trials complementing relaxed fish-and-chips social outings on vintage steel bikes. Our inclusive approach extends to modern innovations too; e-bike riders are welcome, and our custom Newbury Velo kit appears regularly in the virtual world of Zwift. From children as young as 4 taking their first pedal strokes to seasoned riders in their 80s, our community spans generations.
