Wielervereniging Amsterdam, WVA for short, was founded in 1933 and has raced on its own closed 2.5 km circuit at Sportpark Sloten since the 1970s, with a clubhouse where we catch up over a drink afterwards. Around 330 members and some 30 volunteers make it happen. Whether you're a seasoned racer or have never ridden in a bunch, there's a race for you.
Race with us
We race four days a week: Saturday criteriums for licence holders and for riders without a licence, mixed races on Monday evenings, licence races on Wednesday evenings and a beginners' race on Fridays. You don't need to be a member: register online and you're on the start line.
New to racing?
Start with the Friday beginners' race. A short briefing, a steady pace and a closed circuit: the friendliest way to learn to ride in a bunch.
Ride with us
Every Saturday at 12:30 a social group ride leaves from the clubhouse, led by a ride captain. 30 to 60 km at a pace the group can hold.
