About Us
Gemini is a traditional style cycling club, regularly organizing and assisting with the operation of several cycle events each year. The club currently has approximately 60 members many of whom regularly compete in cycle competitions.
Road Racing
In 2009 Gemini riders competed in South East Road Race League (based mainly in Kent), Surrey League, Eastern Road League, Crystal Palace and LVRC events.
A Gemini team has competed in a stage race in France for the last ten years.
Typically, an early season training camp in the south of England is organized along with a trip to a training camp in Valencia.
In 2009, the club organised two rounds of the South East Road Race League. (Previously we have run Surrey League and LVRC day races).
Time Trials
During the summer months a series of local time trials are run to create a championship, which provides excellent training for all cycling disciplines. Riders participate in RTTC and KCA events. The club assists in the organisation of an open time trial in Kent.
Off Road
Riders have participated in a number of the "Red Bull" 24-hour events as well as other single day races such as "SAMS".
Randonees
A number of our senior members regularly visit France to sample cycling (food and wine) in style, as it ought to be.
Track
The boards at Herne Hill and Manchester occasionally see the wheels of club members.
Cyclo Cross
Gemini BC has organised a cycle cross event each December since 1978. Club members do participate in local events.
