The University of Derby Cycling Club (UODCC) is both a competitive and recreational club catering for all disciplines and abilities within cycling.
The club has seen huge growth in the last couple of years and is now recognised as a performance sport by the Union of Students and Team Derby. Because of this, we receive additional funding for development such as: coaches, training sessions, strength and conditioning sessions and race entry fees. The Club is seeking to continue to grow all aspects; in particular identifying and developing talent from amateur athletes.
The club is pleased to announce the introduction of spin sessions. These will take place on Friday mornings from 8:00am to 9:00am in the sports centre gym. These will be led by Bryan Steel and will soon be able to purchase from the club shop.
Joining the Club
We will have a stand at Freshers Fair on the 17th & 18th September at Kedleston Road, where our committee and a couple of scholars to answer any questions you may have, along with a wattbike challenge for people to attempt.
