We are very excited to present our new club programme structure. Some clubs may recognise the model for the Limitless programme, where Champion and Focus clubs have been very effective in activating clubs to become more inclusive.

We will now adopt the framework for all our existing and future club programmes. Starting with Go-Ride, our flagship offer for children and young people in clubs, we will then introduce Champion and Focus club pathway. The Champion and Focus clubs aim to create an expert network of clubs that support cycling in specific ways.
