Holmfirth Cycling Club has launched a new website and mobile app aimed at making it easier for cyclists across the Holme Valley to get involved.

The club, which runs up to 10 rides a week, says the new digital services will help existing members find rides and events while giving prospective members a clearer picture of what the club offers.

There are now two websites, one for people interested in joining and another for existing members, along with a club app available on iOS and Android.

The project was delivered free of charge by long-standing club member and committee member Simon Verona, who owns a software company.

Simon, who led the project, said: “People expect to be able to find information quickly and easily, especially on their phone.

“The new website and app make it much simpler for members to see what is happening and for new riders to understand what Holmfirth Cycling Club has to offer.

“As a long-standing member of the club, it has been great to use my professional experience to give something back.

“We are a very active club, with rides most days of the week, trips, weekends away and social events, and this helps us support our members better while encouraging more local people to get involved.”

As well as its regular rides, Holmfirth Cycling Club organises an annual cycling trip abroad, away days and weekends and social events throughout the year.

The club caters for cyclists across a range of abilities and interests.
