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.
We also have a midweek ride/social on Tuesday evening.
A Saturday morning, half day ride is now also available.
We are now also putting on a guided Mountain Bike Ride, on a Saturday, currently once per month.
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?
