Axe Valley Pedallers, even in this current lockdown, manage to keep very much in touch mostly by using the club members only Facebook page.
Although the club was only formed in 2005, it now has a thriving membership of over 100. However, members of all ages did have "previous lives" in racing, touring and social events so some of these photos may give you a glimpse way back into the past.
Although they are now severely limited in regard together, the club now understands from British Cycling, with whom they are affiliated, that larger organised groups will be allowed to ride again from the end of March, but as yet to be confirmed.
