Kibworth Velo Club News

25th May 2019 | Clubs and Societies, Sport

Club News: The spring weather has been kind to us and we have managed lots of social rides out to various cafes across the county - cyclists never tire of coffee and cake! 
The good weather has seen our numbers swell with a number of new and returning riders joining. We cater for all different shapes, sizes and abilities and it is refreshing to see so many people benefitting from cycling. We have also got new summer kit to complement our existing stock. You may see us in our brand new ‘Le Col’ black and red shirt which has been kindly sorted by Fraser Law, so watch out for us around the villages!

Keeping the countryside clean

25th April 2019 | Community

How often do you drive along country roads or go for a walk and comment on the amount of litter? Kibworth resident, Liz Gilbert, decided she wanted to do something about it and has started a campaign to encourage everyone who enjoys walking in the countryside to make an effort to pick up rubbish.
