Glossop Kinder Velo (GKV) is a cycling club based in Glossop, Derbyshire, in the High Peak. GKV is affiliated to British Cycling and the CTT. GKV was formed around 20 years ago when two local clubs, Kinder Racing Team and Glossop Velo merged. We organise regular club runs, time trials, a hill climb and a sportive.
GKV Rides
We run a number of regular rides to suit different abilities. Details are usually posted on our Facebook page in advance of each ride. You can talk to the ride organisers and get a feel for what is involved in advance.
Club runs resume in April 2021. Join our first new members’ ride on Easter Sunday.

Sunday Coffee
Joe and Paul lead a longer Sunday ride meeting at Glossop station at 10 am. Expect a long day with café stops and the occasional hipflask.
