Cycling history, coffee and cake at Newbury Town Hall

Newbury Road Club is kicking off its centenary celebrations this Saturday at 10am in Newbury Town Hall with a look back at 100 years of local cycling history.

The Club will be previewing a forthcoming exhibition which brings its history to life through stories and pictures. Visitors can also contrast and compare 1925 and 2025 bikes and see historical artefacts from its rich history.

The local club can trace its roots back to the 1870s but was officially formed in 1925. Throughout the decades it has fostered many cycling legends and championed the fitness aspect of cycling – even back in the days when cycling was the major mode of transport!

Everyone is welcome to this free town centre event and cyclist’s staple fare (coffee and cake) will be provided.
