Joining couldn’t be easier. If we know you and you’ve ridden with us before then come to one of our monthly club meetings, details below. For strangers, we’d prefer you to ride with us once or twice so we can gauge your ability before joining but if you’re obviously experienced then that’s not necessary. For youngsters and parents, just come to one of our monthly meetings, tell us what you need and we’ll do our best to meet your need. There’s no joining fee and subs are just £12 pa for adults [young riders' subs under review but likely to be reduced] plus insurance - see below.

Insurance

We do, however, require members to join either the CTC (Cycle Touring Club) or BC (British Cycling) in order to provide third party insurance cover for other members and members of the general public. Members can become either club affiliates of the CTC, in which case the cost is £12 per head, or if they prefer they can become individual members, for which the cost is around £36 pa, with some reduced discretionary prices available for young riders, OAPs etc. This cover is advisable for all regular cyclists, members or otherwise. See our contacts page for CTC and BC. For youngsters, especially those riding mainly off-road, it may be possible to make other arrangements - talk to us about it.

Meetings

We meet on the first Friday of every month at 7.30pm in the Greenside community centre, on the B6315 near the Tee junction. Coffee, Tea and biscuits are available. The meetings are very informal and are also social events. Come along and see!
