Ystwyth Cycle Club funded this 90 minute session, held on Friday 9th February and invited all riders from the club, past and current to attend this training session. The session was delivered by Billie from Papyrus, who the club have been working alongside with, over the last six months.

It was a really useful and well delivered session, which we all took away more knowledge and information.

Over the 90 minutes the session covered;

• To understand the prevalence and impact of suicide
• To explore the language, and the challenges, when talking openly about suicide
• To recognise the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide
• To consider how we can all contribute to a suicide safer community.

Thank you to Billie from Papyrus for delivering this really informative and useful session for Ystwyth Cycle Club.

As well as our generous club member only offers from our main sponsors Cambrian Tyres and Summit Cycles, which can be found here, we are pleased to announce two new offers to club members for 2024.

Following the great feedback from 2023, the club are continuing the monthly café meet up rides.

The concept is simple, join one of the advertised Sunday rides on the 11th February, or make your own way to Yr Hen Lew Du, Bridge Street, Aberystwyth, for 11.30am for plenty of homemade delicious cake and coffee paid for by the club. Everyone welcome on or off the bike!!

Just to note that for the February monthly café ride, we are aiming for all riders to be at Plascrug Leisure Centre for 9.15am, in club kit (if possible), because we’re presenting a cheque to the charity Papyrus for the money raised from the Memorial Ride and the raffle at the club dinner.

There’s plenty of bike storage inside the pub if you cycle there and a warm welcome for everyone!

Ystwyth CC have arranged and funded the following 90 minute course for club members and would like to encourage everyone to attend.
