This is the website presenting information about our Cycling Club. We are a group of relaxed, enthusiastic but predominantly leisurely cyclists participating in adventures on two wheels, on and off road, in and around Rochdale and its surrounding hills.
We generally have short, local, day-rides out on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. Those Wed’s/Fri rides are normally 3-to-4 hr cross-country mountain bike rides, starting and finishing at various locations within Rochdale, whilst the week-end rides are normally on-road, looping out to and back from a cafe stop. But not always: so route decisions are kept flexible, being weather dependant, and are managed via the wonder that is WhatsApp.
Occasionally we venture further afield, both for on-and-off-road rides, via car-assisted day trips and even multi-day trips – touring!
Both the road and off-road rides are open to e-bikes (i.e. pedal-assist motor drives) as well as traditional leg-powered bikes. The MTB routes are generally fine for hard-tailers.
Note: we are not a racing-team and are not currently affiliated to any racing organisations.
We do enjoy a curry though, having a monthly Thursday night out for a meal at a venue in Rochdale.

oPERATION
The club is administered via monthly meetings at various venues within Rochdale – we do not have a permanent fixed abode. But we do have a formal structure, constitution and committee and have managed the club this way since its inception. We no longer publish a list of set routes because these invariably change due to weather and ground conditions. Hence the flexibility of day-to-day decisions communicated to our members via WhatsApp.
Insurance: that dreaded topic.
Our organised formal club rides operate with 3rd party liabilty insurance cover through CyclingUK. So, unless you have your own insurance cover, we require that new-comers (that are not yet subscribed club members) either ride with their own insurance cover, or stick for the duration of a ride under the guidance of the nominated Ride Leader.
Youngsters
We do not currently have any members under 18yrs old. We would require that any parents enquiring about joining our rides on behalf of a youngster need to be prepared to ride too. The regulations and affiliation requirements to be able to accommodate unaccompanied youngsters are too onerous for the current club organisation to provide. Sorry about that...
