As we get further into the COVID-19 closedown it is clear that some cyclists are attracting less than positive comments from the general public.

We also know that some cyclists are being indiscriminately targeted by febrile young car drivers.

At this time it is important to ensure that our distinctive club colours are not seen as synonymous with cyclists in general. With this in mind I ask all members not to wear their Club kit until we clear this difficult period.

Yours in Cycling

Evesham Wheelers did a great job in being at the centre of organisation for the Evesham Cyclefest in its 3rd year.

Chris Boardman led out the sportives (40 and 88 miles), and EW colours were prominent in pictures published by our local press.

Plans are already underway for Evesham Cyclefest 2017 when EW will take on a more high profile role in supporting this important local event.
