MILESTONE MILES: Berkhamsted cycling club ‘hugely proud’ to celebrate 10th anniversary

 Published on: 20th October 2024   |   By: Ellie Rose   |   Category: Uncategorized

Berkhamsted Cycling Club (BCC) is celebrating 10 years of bringing together local bike enthusiasts.

Since starting as group rides organised by Lovelo Cycle Works, BCC now has more than 200 members and provides a social, inclusive and supportive environment for all abilities.

Throughout the last decade, the club has run many events, one of which was won by future Olympic medal-winning cyclist, Anna Henderson.

BCC chair Mary Holden said: “We’re hugely proud to have been in existence for a decade. The more people we can help to keep fit and enjoy themselves, the better.”

Recently, club members Michael Gower and Graham Earl broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest pedal-powered crossing of the English Channel in six hours and 39 minutes.

Berkhamsted has a long history of cycling. In fact, the first person to circumnavigate the globe by bicycle was Berkhamsted resident Thomas Stevens.
