Information

VC Jubilee is a recognised British Cycling (national governing body) "Go-Ride" and Sport England "ClubMark" club for young people from 9 to 18 years, based in Shoreham-by-Sea. We are linked to Brighton Excelsior Cycling Club (BECC) an adult cycling club and on the 20th August if you're young (9+) or old(er) and interested in cycling come along to meet the club and take part in some of our activities, which coincides with the Tour of Britain and our Olympic hopefuls. Sally Page, the club contact says "this is a perfect time to promote the fantastic sport of cycling, there are so many people with bikes that skill development and training is key to making sure that they ride safely on our roads. This also gives us a chance to find and support our future stars through British Cycling's Talent Tests programme, especially with the excitement of 2012 Olympics coming to London, this is a real opportunity for our youngsters to be involved in that event".
