To all members of PCC

Qualify as a British Cycling Mountain Bike Leader (level 2).

For over a decade, the PCC Kids Club has delivered Saturday morning led rides and coaching sessions for young riders (ages 8-16) at Glentress (945am-12 noon).

Some of Scotland’s top riders developed their initial skills and found their love for the sport through Kids Club.  Qualified leaders and parental help has always been at the backbone of Kids club and we are currently on the lookout for up to 6 adults (age 18+) who are interested in volunteering at Kids Club to lead rides on a Saturday morning (at least once per month during school term time). 

Annual Sportive on the 25th of August

PCC are holding our annual Sportive on the 25th of August 2024.

This has always been well supported by club members, so please save the date!

The 2024 event comes with a bit of a name change – Tweed Valley Sportive (previously Tour of Tweeddale) and will use the same 2 routes as last year.

If you are available to help on the day or if you want to join our organising team, please email me – cgulvik@hotmail.co.uk.

Entries will be opening soon.
