Bike Resources in Loughborough

Loughborough is one of those places that's well located for other places (such as Nottingham and Leicester), and as a consequence is a good starting point for a Midlands/Peak District cycling holiday. It is fortunate to be in the heart of rolling hills, and this has boosted the popularity of cycling and boosted the strength of local riders as well.

Geoff Platts no longer rides for the Coalville Whlrs, and the largest (most members) club in the area is the Leicester based Leicestershire Road Club www.leicestershireroadclub.org.uk
