We like to set challenges for our members, this Sportive will demonstrate that. Even our summer evening 10 mile time trials programme, with our avoidance of super smooth main roads, guarantees a challenge too. And if you want a speed challenge, and we mean Chris Hoy type speed, then we do that too. So if you like a challenge, then start with the Sportive, and when you’ve recovered, come and join us for our other challenges. Have a look at our web-site which gives more details of who we are and what we do. If it was easy, it wouldn’t be such fun, do it with other like minded people and it’s twice the fun.

Arrow’s Go Ride kids can’t wait for the new Track ! The facility is set in the heart of Bournemouth where the Arrow already run its Go Ride sessions teaching skills to kids and will comprise an Olympic size 250 metre tarmac track. This will provide not only a competition facility where riders can develop their skills on its 33 degree banking, but also support more modest ambitions using a flat inner tarmac safety zone where recreational cyclists and joggers of all ages and fitness levels can exercise. In the track centre is a flat grass in-field which sits in the track amphitheatre where our Go Ride club will meet and where local families and schools can enjoy informal games and recreation. This area will also form a perfect start/finish point for winter cyclocross, proving the facility to be an all year Cycling Centre for Bournemouth.
