Welcome to the Plymouth Cycling club
Plymouth CC
We are an informal - social and friendly club with a mixture of riding abilities with the aim of discovering the lanes and byways ( avoiding main roads ) of Devon & Cornwall + the hidden cafes & farm shops for tea/coffee and cake. Meeting every Sunday morning weather permitting from different locations, we publish a list of planned rides with the leaders on the website. The idea is to ride at a steady pace with regards to the slowest rider in the group ( no racing ) and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Devon & Cornwall with the odd coffee & cake stops, also the occasional pub stop. All are welcome to join us we ride on a mixture of bikes, Hybrids-Road bikes-Touring -E Bikes.
Disclaimer:
Plymouth Cycling Club & its ride leaders will not be held responsible for any accident or occurrence that happens while taking part in planned rides. So it is recommended that individuals take out some kind of insurance (Liability) in case of any mishap. See below for a couple of websites.
We offer 2 groups:
A Group - This is the stronger more adventurous group going farther afield for which the rides and locations are published, we are out most of the day covering 30-45 miles according to the leader on the day. You can just turn up on the day at the location published, for more information contact us via our 'A; Ride Contact Page
B Group - This is a slower group covering up to 30/40 miles at a leisurely pace avoiding hills where possible and with frequent stops to allow riders to catch up. We meet mainly at the grass triangle just before Chaddlewood Garage, Plympton, also at Coypool or Plymco (at the end of Plympton Ridgeway). For further details, contact us via the 'B' Ride contact page.
We also do the occasional weekday ride for those not working or retired, and again depending on the weather. for more info. on this contact Trevor - 07889 984 290
