Nearly 100 years after Fareham Wheelers first turned a pedal, the club has a new home online, and it’s built for you. You’ll find routes to ride, cafés to stop at and the latest club news. Best of all, you can add to it yourself in a couple of minutes, with no IT skills needed and no risk of breaking anything.
The new site does two jobs. For members, it’s the place for everything club: rides, routes, time trials, Weekly Strava results, café stops and news. For everyone else, it shows what we are: a friendly, welcoming club with a proud history, heading towards our centenary in 2027 and always happy to see new faces.
Have a look around. Try the Club Routes, find a new café for your next ride, or catch up on the latest Weekly Strava leaderboard.
A club website should be made by its members, so we’ve worked hard to make helping out easy. If you’ve ever looked at a website and thought “I’d only mess it up”, this one is for you.
Here’s how it works. You log in, fill in a simple form, much like writing an email, and press send. That’s it.
Nothing you send appears on the site straight away. It’s saved safely as a draft, and one of our editors gives it a quick check before it goes live. You can’t break anything, and there’s always someone to help.
A few minutes now and then is all it takes and it helps keep the site fresh and the club visible. Step-by-step how-to guides are there whenever you need them.
We’re looking for members to join the website team as authors, who send in items, and editors, who check and publish them. You don’t need any experience, just a bit of enthusiasm for the club. If you’d like to get involved, or just have a go please let us know.
Here’s to the next 100 years. See you on the road, and on the website.
