About the Lanterne Rouge

Our Ethos

At Warwick Lanterne Rouge we provide a friendly, welcoming and inclusive environment for cyclists from all backgrounds.

Committed to growing participation in cycling, we promote grassroots racing and provide a calendar of social club activities that appeal to cyclists of all levels. Predominantly a road cycling club although we have a growing contingent of members who do multi cycling disciplines including CX, Gravel and Time Trials.

Through an active volunteering programme, our members are encouraged to give back in a way that is a positive experience for everyone.

Join us for one of our regular Sunday Club rides to find out how Warwick’s very own cycling club can enhance and enliven your cycling experience!

Whatever your ability, we have a ride to suit you! Please get in touch via our Contact Page or Follow us on Facebook
