Plans underway for new cycling club

Jon Williams, co-founder of Cyclesport International RT is planning to resurrect the club he founded with Chris Knight in 1996.

In it's hay day the team promoted many cycle races and had quite a few members racing but after the untimely death of Chris the team tinkered on for a couple of years before disbanding - plans are now underway though and 2011 will see the club resurface.

Jon Williams said "It will simply be called "Cyclesport International" as we don't all race and many of today's cyclists have no intention of doing so, although the club will be actively seeking racing members, just as much as riders new to cycling."

To take advantage of the many cyclists that pass through Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, this area will be the club's base.

Jon added "The club is aimed at any cyclist however much they ride. If you want to meet other fellow cyclists, gain new friends, and enjoy the sport the way it should be enjoyed, this is the club for you. You might ride once a week or everyday, it does not matter.

"We would also strongly advise all members to become members of either Cyclists Touring Club or British Cycling. There are many benefits to joining either organisation but membership of either will give the rider third party accident insurance and will help with legal action in the case of an accident. We request that members in the under 18 catagory be a member of Cyclists Touring Club or British Cycling."
