Eastbourne Rovers Cycling Club
Friendly, local, and inclusive—whatever your ride, there’s a place for you here.
Whether you’re a complete beginner just starting out or a seasoned racer looking for your next challenge, Eastbourne Rovers is all about enjoying life on two wheels. We’ve been around since 1894 but our goal remains the same: encouraging cycling for everyone, at any age or ability level.
What We do.
We love the variety that cycling brings. Our members get involved in everything, including:
- Social Road Rides: The heart of our club.
- Racing: From Time Trialling and Road Racing to Cyclo-Cross and Track.
- Off-Road: Gravel and Mountain Biking sessions and adventures. Getting off the tarmac and explore the best trails and tracks around the South Downs.
- Distance & Endurance: Audax, Sportives, and Reliability Trials.
- Social events: A coffee and a chat or a summer BBQ.
Join Us for a Spin.
Our Club Rides head out every Sunday at 8:00 am from Kontour Cycles in Polegate, and are a great way to meet like-minded people. During the summer months, we also run a Tuesday evening Social ride, starting at 6pm.
How We Stay Connected.
We like to keep things organised and chatty! We use three main spots for our members to stay in the loop:
- Spond: This is our go-to hub for all official club business. It’s where you’ll find our event calendar, sign up for Sunday rides, and get the latest updates on racing.
- Members-Only Facebook Group: The perfect place for social banter, sharing photos from your latest ride, and general community chat.
- Members-Only Strava Group: A “digital clubhouse” where you can celebrate achievements, and foster friendly competition.
