Who we are
We are Swan Wheelers, Buckingham's revived historic cycling club. We're definitely not an elitist cycling club, we're a bunch of people who enjoy riding their bikes. Whether you do that on a road bike or a hybrid, whether you wear lycra or not, whether you wear our club kit or your own gear, if you ride faster or slower.... it doesn't matter as long as you want to ride.
If you're not a member yet and and not sure if a club is for you then you are welcome try us out. We run three different ride groups and you can join us on up to three rides before you would be asked to join the club. If you're not sure what to expect please take a look at our guide to your first club ride and then choose a ride from the calendar or get in touch.

SWCC Covid-19 Update
3 December 2020
Whilst there is still a need for us all to keep safe in these challenging times, we again have a latest update due to the recent British Cycling relaxation for club/group rides, see their update link below following the November lock-down.
The committee are now able to reinstate our organised Club Rides from the Swan Pool on Sunday & Wednesday’s. But again they will be adhering to the latest COVID-19 guidelines, with the required Group of Six (6) protocols with Social Distancing at its core that we were doing successfully previously, so our thanks to you all for your efforts in keeping us all safe.
Whilst we expect that a number of Club Members will wish to continue to make their own way to any selected Meet-Up Cafes on Sunday & Wednesday, we will now be posting rides on the Club Rides Forum with the usual advice for the chosen cafe stop, an example route to it & the usual data files, advice etc. If anyone is wishing to join a club ride from the Swan Pool – you must notify the Ride Leaders via the “In the Saddle” Forum and tapping the "I’m Attending" tab in advance for any chosen ride or notifying them directly.
Also for any posted meet-up ride, it would also be good to see who is going to ride to the chosen cafe direct. So please just add your intention to do so with a note in the appropriate ride post. Thanks.
Please check your access to the Forum is working. Give our web admin, Pat Harbord a shout on WhatsApp if it’s not.
