Abergavenny Road Club is a rapidly expanding, cycling, club which welcomes riders of all disciplines, abilities and ages. On or off road, competitive or social. The club has benefited from the post Olympic interest and seen a significant increase in youth participation at club coaching sessions. The club receives funding through membership and sponsorship, but this is spent on events, equipment and subsidised quality, cycle kit to ensure that the costs of cycling are kept as low as possible so inclusive to all.

Steve Lane, Club Secretary and Coach said “Our membership has grown considerably since the Olympics and our young rider sessions attract in excess of 60 young riders, of all ages and abilities, We are loathe to turn any young rider away but there are set limitations with coaching ratios. With natural wastage of qualified coaches, the club identified the need for volunteers to be trained as coaches”. “Thanks to the generosity of Sport Wales and the Monmouthshire Community Chest Panel we can train 4 British Cycling qualified coaches and provide additional coaching education for our existing volunteers”
