Cycling clubs in general can have a reputation of being a little 'eliteist' - so its understandable to have concerns.. Berwick Wheelers have members who train seriously and compete in competitions at national levels, and we also have members who just come out for a casual sunday social ride.
Whatever you are looking the club is here to assist - all you need to do is come along, get involved and see for yourself..
- Can I join as a trial?
Yes, you would be welcome to join us as a trial, apply on our Virtual Clubhouse (see links page) - we will get you into the group and you can join events to see what we do.
If you attend regularly though then the expectation is that you will join the club.

We welcome guests on all our rides. If you are visiting the area, if you are local, or if you are a memebr of another club.. you would always be welcome to join us for our events..
