About Us
Membership gives you access to all of our rides, social events and competitions. We are members of British Cycling, the Yorkshire Cycling Federation and Cycling UK. Some members just ride socially, or attend Sunday club runs, others race in cyclocross, triathlon, duathlon and time trials. There’s a wealth of knowledge amongst our members to support a range of abilities and goals, be it to complete a steady social club run or to ride from Lands End to John o’ Groats.
Sunday is our main club run day, meeting at the parking area in front of the row of shops, opposite the Malt Shovel Pub on the A58 (BD111BE) at 8:30am (British Summer Time) and 9:00am during the remainder of the year. Currently we have 3 groups: the stronger A Group riding at around 16 to 18 mph average, a B Group riding at around 14 to 16mph and a C group that rides about 40 miles and averages 12 to 14mph. All groups have a café stop on route and ride at the pace of the slowest rider, never leaving anyone behind.
On Thursdays we have our social rides. These depart at the parking area in front of the row of shops, opposite the Malt Shovel Pub on the A58 (BD11 1BE) all year at 09:30. These rides are similar to the Sunday B group runs, some hilly and some flat (with some drive outs in the summer). The rides have a relaxed approach for those who like a social mid-week ride with a café stop.

On Wednesday evenings we have a training ride, ideal for those who would like to build speed and fitness. Departing the parking area in front of the row of shops, opposite the Malt Shovel Pub on the A58 (BD111BE) all year at 6:30pm. The group tend to head east on a flat loop of around 35 miles during the dark winter months. During the summer, these rides can expand onto quieter roads and take in more challenging and hilly terrain. Regardless of distance, the aim is for a maximum ride time of two hours.
