The South Lakes Premier Cycling Club

Kent Valley Road Club

The Kent Valley Road Club was formed in 1928 with the object of promoting all forms of cycling activity and to foster the spirit of comradeship and good fellowship amongst all members and fellow cyclists.

Today the KVRC promotes club time trials from April until September, including events south of Milnthorpe and on the Levens to Lindale stretch of the A590 varying from 10 to 25 miles plus 2 monthly hilly events. In addition, the club stages four open time trials, two on Levens one up the A6 to Shap summit and one on the circuit of Wild Boar Fell, and two road races on the Old Hutton circuit east of Kendal.

With growing interest in the cyclo-sportive branch of cycling in mind, the club now jointly organises the 3CC events (check out the 3CC link on this web page) and organises a winter series of lanequests from suitable hostelries in the surrounding area.

The club encourages riders of all standards and aspirations. We have nearly 100 members but newcomers - of either gender - are always welcome to come along and join in. The object of the club in 1928 is exactly the same today!

Club Runs

The Club Sunday runs are aimed at people who want to have a social ride. The rides will be around 3 hours (~ 40 miles) and use quiet roads. Just a few rules:

We stick together as a group – have a blast up the hills if you want to get rid of that excess energy, but wait for the rest of us at the top.
We will aim to work in a café stop.
Please make sure your bike is roadworthy.
Its winter so be aware of your visibility on gloomy days – lights, clothing etc…

The routes will be decided on the day, depending on weather etc. but we need you to come along with ideas about routes. It’s a great way to share your favourite rides with the rest of the club.

Going out any other time and fancy a riding partner then why not use the Kent Valley Facebook to post a date / time / location
