The Derwent Valley Wheelers was established in 1928 and has evolved via a change of name in the 1980’s to the Derwent Valley Cycling Club (DVCC). The cycling club is based in Cockermouth in Cumbria’s Lake District, and presently has an active and above all friendly membership. We also have a good mix of male and female cyclists!
