Nova Raiders Cycling Club

Welcome to Nova Raiders Cycling Club, sponsored by Joule's Brewery.

We pride ourselves on our friendliness, indeed our club ethos is "cycling with friends".

We are a cycling club with a difference. Originally formed by a small band of friends whose premise was to use cycling to raise money for good causes, Nova Raiders has grown into a social riding community that welcomes riders of all ages and abilities.

About us


Welcome to Nova Raiders Cycling Club, sponsored by Joule's Brewery.

We pride ourselves on our friendliness, indeed our club ethos is "cycling with friends".

We are a cycling club with a difference. Originally formed by a small band of friends whose premise was to use cycling to raise money for good causes, Nova Raiders has grown into a social riding community that welcomes riders of all ages and abilities.

Members enjoy riding for pleasure in club rides or sportives, taking part in duathlons and triathlons, competing in criteriums, battling against other time trialists or racing in the road race league.

True to the original club vision Nova Raiders still host regular events in order to raise money for good causes. This year money will be raised through our Reliability Ride, our Route 66 Sportive, Time Trials and our Giro d'Joules Challenge in September.

The club offers up to eleven group rides per week to cover all ability levels: see our Facebook group for full details. Members also benefit from a email group with more informal rides arranged on a regular basis. We are very proud of the number and diversity of rides we offer members week in, week out.

For those new to cycling why not try one of our "Come and Try" nights advertised through our Facebook page, or pop into Nova Cycles on Newport High Street for information on how to get involved in cycling.

If you are interested in joining us please drop us a line through our Contact page or pop into Nova Cycles for more information.
