AFTER the first few months of excitement at hitting the road or track on two wheels, you may begin to ask yourself, what’s next?
The answer may very well be, why not join a local club. Like many sports, cycling is best enjoyed as part of a group.
Not only do your companions provide much needed advice or encouragement when the going gets tough, but race days or group days out can offer an extra dimension that cycling on your own will not provide.
New members welcome
LIVERPOOL Mercury (Dolan) is a club for cyclists who enjoy many different types of cycling activities. These include weekend club runs, leisure sportive type events, mountain bike runs, club road races and time trials.
The Merc has three main clubruns on a Sunday morning – the first two depart from Litherland Sport Park at 9am, while the other leaves the Copplehouse pub in Fazakerley at 9.30am. All groups cover distances between 50 to 70-miles at various paces, but beginners and new members are advised to venture out with the first of the two groups from LSP.
