LONE TWO Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Im looking at joining a cycling club in the fourways/northcliff area. These are the options so far Cycle lab is R1000 with a few benefitsNorthcliff (no price on there website) and appears no benefitsComplete cyclist is R750 with a kit but no benefits.Club 100 (no price on there website) and appears no benefits Based on above cycle lab looks like the place to be. The only thing I don't like is the size of the club its HUGE is there any other clubs I should look at? I don't mind paying but want a nice kit and benefits that's not a big club Any help would be appreciated Shot
Zatek Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 The benefit of a big club is that on the weekend rides there is different groups riding at different speed with backup to assist. CL has nice kit with good bibs which you won't be able to buy at that price. I can not speak for the other clubs.
LONE TWO Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I hear you and I agree with you but would prefer a smaller club over a big club but lets see, maybe CL is the way to go
bradwentzel Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 CL is the best for the average cyclist.Good vibe at the rides too

LongDonkey Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Cycle Science in Broadacres. Dont know exactly how their club rides work, but i know they do have bunchs leaving on weekend mornings. Cant remember fees. Been a member there for a couple of years, but not joined one of their rides...... Oops
jcza Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Was with Cycle Lab, groups too big. Aggression and crashes on group rides. Joined Club 100 - groups much smaller and I prefer it.
Shangri la Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Try Titans - also offer running; Bootcamp training; diving; organise group camping for away races.
LONE TWO Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks guys. @JCZA that's what I was worried about
Pusher Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Go for a ride with both clubs as a guest and see for your self!

karlvand Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I've just joined Club Bryton USN, they are based in Honeydew. Fee is R1,250.00 which includes Decca Bib shorts, shirt and R600.00 worth of USN supplements. You also get Access to the clubs online store. The guys at the shop are really friendly and helpful. There's a small test track outside their shop where they have lap races every Tuesday night, they also have group rides on the weekends. I did quite a bit of investigating in clubs and i'm pretty chuffed with the choice i've made. Kit looks awesome and the shorts are super comfy which is a plus. Check them out - http://www.bryton.co.za/q-a/3-dp1
LONE TWO Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I looked at swampdogs didn't really make me want to go give them a try. Didn't tickle my fancy
