Whirlow Wheelers
Welcome to the Sheffield cycling club with a difference... we don't race. We could race. Some of us have raced and even, very occasionally, failed to do the honourable thing and come last. But now we don't. Some talk about it with a dreamy, nostalgic look on their face, some get the odd rush of blood to the head and try it, but the penalty for time trialling is a pump in the spokes when you're not looking! No, we don't race.
We don't race to the 30mph sign before every cafe stop. We don't race to the top of every flaming hill in Derbyshire. And we certainly don't race down "13 bends" on the way home - when everyone's knackered and just wants a shower - oh no - not us - not ever. Well... maybe just occasionally... once a week perhaps!

When and Where
Mostly it happens on a Sunday morning while decent folk are in bed doing Wordle (or whatever), starting at 9:00am (summer) or 9:30 (winter) from Calver. Some ride there and some (sharp intake of breath) drive there. (And some park out of sight and pretend to have ridden out.)
So we don't get bored we sometimes start elsewhere, typically Barlboro for a flat(ish) ride out east, or Malin Bridge for a decidedly unflat ride oop north. The exact start point and time is published on the website Cycling club runs around Sheffield
