A very warm welcome to your local Cycling Touring Club website.
The Club is part of CTC, the UK's national cyclists organisation. See www.ctc.org.uk. We are a very active and friendly cycling club, offering you a chance to explore the scenic byways of Pendleside, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland "under your own steam" with like minded people.
Every Sunday we offer a choice of rides seeking out quiet country lanes with stops to socialise in cafes and village tearooms.
There is a midweek ride/social on Tuesday evening.
A Saturday morning, half day ride is also available.
Approximately once a month we put on a guided Mountain Bike Ride, on a Saturday.
New riders will be made very welcome on all of our rides.
We do put on a series of rides, particularly through the spring and summer which are specifically aimed at new riders and families with children.
Whilst we would always encourage children to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, we can take unaccompanied children on our rides from the age of 13 with a completed parental consent form.
Details of all our rides can be found on the 'Rides List' which we produce quarterly. A copy can be downloaded from this website.
If you are interested in a short introductory ride please give John a ring on 01282 712185 and we will see what we can arrange? If you have any queries at all please do not hesitate to get in touch, via our contact details?

Sunday 30th June 2013, 'Bikes for Pendle' Charity Ride.
Burnley and Pendle CTC are leading a fund raising guided cycle ride, with ALL funds going towards the purchase of disability adapted cycles to be used by the Pendle Borough Council 'Wheels for All' scheme. This nationally recognized programme embraces all children & adults with disabilities or different needs, to engage in quality cycling activity, using specially adapted cycles, run by fully trained leaders.
Starting from Seedhill Athletics track, the current base for the scheme, at 10:00am, the 28 mile route is intended to be suitable for relatively new riders whilst offering a challenge. The route heads out on the canal towpath to Burnley and onto the Padiham Greenway, before returning on lanes via Newchurch, Barley and back onto the canal towpath at Salterforth to pass the proposed site of 'The Steven Burke Sports Hub' on route to Seedhill. A shorter 18 mile alternative is available heading straight back to Seedhill from Barley. There will be opportunities to get refreshments in Barley.
There is a £5 entry fee payable on the day (All of which will be going to the charity), with sponsorship forms also available for any entrants wishing to raise further funds for the disability adapted cycles. Please complete an entry form (available from the download box to the right of this page) and return it to us by e-mail or post. Alternatively you can bring the form along on the day BUT please e-mail or ring to give us an idea of numbers, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
