MANUKAU VETERANS CYCLE CLUB Inc.

The Manukau Veterans Cycle Club is a recreational cycle club catering for beginners through to experienced cyclists. We hold weekly rides in rural South Auckland to suit all abilities. There are also enjoyable "away" rides and social events throughout the year.

Camaraderie is a key reason for the club's success. We believe in looking out for each other. All new club members and visitors are fostered into the club by more experienced members. You won't be left behind to find your own way home.

The club was formed in 1992 to meet the needs of veteran cyclists in the South Auckland area. Today our membership also includes younger associate members and draws riders from the greater Auckland area.

WHEN AND WHERE ARE OUR RIDES?

Our Ride Schedule typically offers one long (~70 km), one medium (~60 km) and one short ride (~40 km) each Sunday. You choose which ride you feel comfortable doing, depending on your fitness level and goals.

You are most welcome to try out our Sunday rides on two occasions for free. When doing so, we request that you complete a Visitors Form inside the Hall before heading out on the bunch ride. If you intend to join us regularly, we encourage you to join the club and pay the $30.00 annual subscription. The subscription fee is reduced to $25.00 for those over 70 years of age.

The ride courses vary from week to week and where possible are along cyclist-friendly routes that generally avoid main roads.

For members, the Ride Fee of $3.00 is payable each time you ride with the club. Tea, coffee, Milo and biscuits are provided at the conclusion of the ride.

WHO CAN JOIN MVCC?

If you have a bike, $30.00, you're aged 25 or older and you have the desire, then you can join.

Both men and women are welcome.

HOW TO FIND OUT MORE:

No matter what your ability, you will enjoy the supportive spirit of the club. This is a key element to encourage your and our enthusiasm for the sport. Enthusiasm is contagious and motivates us to get out there time and time again, even when the weather tries to tell us otherwise.

To find out more simply turn up at the club on a Sunday morning at about 7:50am and introduce yourself. You'll be required to fill in a Visitors Form and hand it in before going riding.

Local and overseas visitors are especially welcome to join us for a ride when they are in Auckland.

OTHER EVENTS AND SOCIAL FUNCTIONS:

Aside from our regular weekly rides, we frequently have away rides and social functions throughout the year including mid-winter and Christmas dinners.
