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 (*family members can get involved too if there are younger riders), and we are based in Shoreham-by-Sea.

We are linked to Brighton Excelsior Cycling Club (BECC) our adult cycling club, and on the 14th July 2007 we are having a joint club Open Day for anyone interested in cycling to come along and meet the club and take part in some of our activities, from 10am at the AOAC, on Adur Recreation Ground, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, BN43 5LT.

Sally Page, the club contact says "this is a perfect time to continue your cycling activities if you were involved in any Bike Week events, and if you've been following the Tour de France that starts in London this year. VC Jubilee provides qualified coaching for the youth development section. The club is linked into the pathway to identify future stars through British Cycling's Talent and Olympic development programme, with the excitement of 2012 Olympics coming to London, this is a real opportunity for our youngsters to be involved in that event through involvement with our clubs. For those that aren't interested in competition, we go on plenty of fun rides and develop cycling skills, to help youngsters ride on roads more safely, but to also explore more remote countryside areas too. Have a look at our action packed calendar for all the activities you could be taking part in. And all our photos. Hope to see you soon."
