Cycling
The University of Derby Cycling Club (UODCC) is both a competitive and recreational club catering for all disciplines and abilities within cycling.
The club has seen huge growth in the last couple of years and is now recognised as a performance sport by the Union of Students and Team Derby. Because of this, we receive additional funding for development such as: coaches, training sessions, strength and conditioning sesasion and race entry fees. The Club is seeking to continue to grow all aspects; in particular identifying and developing talent from amateur athletes.
The club is pleased to announce the introduction of spin sessions. These will take place on Friday mornings from 8:00am to 9:00am in the sports centre gym. These will be led by Bryan Steel and will soon be able to purchase from the club shop.
Track
We have access to university only track sessions at Derby Velodrome. Beginner track sessions run at the start of term and there are then accreditation sessions available weekly for the new track riders.
Road
Social club rides meet on Wednesdays at 2pm throughout the year as well as training rides on Saturdays for the faster riders.
Mountain Bike and CX
We have recently formed a mountain bike committee who also run MTB, Downhill and Cyclocross social and training rides.
