YOUNG members of a South Woodford cycling club have been celebrating after receiving a cheque for £1,500 from the Jack Petchey Foundation awards scheme.
Team Economic Energy held an awards evening on Sunday with the club receiving the money to spend on their youth riders.
The money will allow the club, which was formed in 2001 and is part of the Go Ride scheme that encourages young people to take up sports cycling, to purchase cycling clothing, shoes, helmets and gloves for the youngsters.
Club secretary Leslie Everest said: "This funding will enable us to kit out our youth riders in our team colours and make them feel professional.
"This assistance will encourage young people to prepare for the Olympics, which will be right on our doorstep."
Anyone interested in joining the Team Economic Energy cycling club should call Leslie Everest on 8989 8429.
