Our Club

Our goal is to create a social cycling club for all abilities

 
We are a relatively new club formed in March 2016 by some enthusiastic and friendly local cyclists. We have a strong, dedicated membership but are always looking to grow.  We encourage new members to join us on some of our regular club rides to ensure that we are the right club for you (see details below).  If you like what you see, we will ask you to become a member after two club rides.  Most club rides take place around the Biggar area along the quiet country roads of the Southern Uplands and the Clyde and Tweed valleys.  However, we also include gravel and mountain bike rides as well as a number of ‘away days’ during the year – if you’d like to know more please contact us.

 

We look forward to you joining us. If you’d like to see what we get up to follow us on Facebook using the link below.

Weekly Sunday Rides

Meeting Point: Biggar Corn Exchange, 9.30 AM

 
We normally have a couple of groups heading out on a Sunday morning.  The cycle routes are chosen each week depending on weather, participants etc.  Details of the routes and start times are published on our Facebook page.

Our ‘Sunday Social’ leaves at 09:30 and typically covers around 25 miles at an average pace of approximately 13 mph. This is ideal if you are looking for a more leisurely, social ride or you are just getting into cycling. 

We also usually have at least one group who prefer a longer, faster route and typically cover 45 – 60 miles at an average pace of around 15 to 16 mph.  

We normally try to include a stop during our rides for coffee and cake.  We encourage new members to be able to cycle at least 20 to 25 miles, but on the social rides we stay as a group and go at the pace of the slowest member.  Cyclist under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the run.  If  you are new to the club please read the rider etiquette page for more info before attending a club run (in particular, cyclists must bring ID and next of kin contact details).
