Hi there Mathieu, your best bet will be a club called 'Sheffrec' that a few of us ride with as they have race training rides going from Sheffield out to the Peak District every Tuesday and Thursday night at about 6pm and compete in many races, they also have a club ride on a Sunday morning. Another local team that would be good for your training are 'Rutland' and they ride on Saturdays and can be quite fast. Also come out with our university team on Wednesday afternoons at 1:30pm in front of the arts tower and we will be very welcoming

Here is Sheffrecs website:

And here is Rutlands:

Make sure you join us too, good luck!

Thank you for your help.
My little sister has a world cup of mountain bike next May in dalby forest. It is an event important in England ? and it is far from sheffield?
Thank you.
