Bath Cycling Club is now in its 129th year, making it one of the oldest cycling clubs in the world, and has a membership of approximately 100 of all ages and abilities. It is a club in the English tradition combining competition, recreation riding and sociability.
Time trialling remains the dominant form of racing with the membership but there is an active and growing interest in road racing and Mountain Biking.
Three Open Time Trials are run each year, a hilly 23 mile in March, a 10 mile in May, and a 25 mile in September.
There are Club competitions throughout the year including the Hilly 19 in April, 10 mile time trials on the Frome bypass, and 2 up time trials at Castle Combe Racing Circuit.
Many members ride Audax events - which are organised longer distance rides.
The club has two club runs each week. The Sunday ride covers between 45-65 miles, depending on the time of year, and aims to return to Bath between 1.00-1:30pm. The Tuesday run is usually an all day ride taken at a gentle touring pace with a stop for lunch.
There is a regular weekly club and Social nights (Methodist Church Hall, Northend Batheaston) on a Friday, as well as the annual dinner and prize giving in January.
The club magazine is published three times a year in January, May and September
