Welcome to the C T C Bristol Section Home Page.
If this is your first visit to us it may
be as well to say who we are! Briefly we are the local group of the Cyclists Touring Club
(C T C), Britain’s oldest and largest National cycling organisation. Introductions over,
what do we have on offer?
Club Rides. We organise cycle rides every Sunday all year round (plus the occasional
Saturday ride). Anything from an easy 15 mile ride to 100 mile rides for the more
energetic, plus plenty in between. We stop for coffee, lunch, usually at a country pub,
and where possible, afternoon tea. So if you fancy a ride on quiet country lanes in
Bristol’s surrounding countryside come along to the start and try us out. We have in our
area some of the most varied and loveliest country in the UK so come and enjoy it in
friendly company. And remember, we have a policy of tailoring our rides, especially the
easier ones, to the pace of the slowest rider - so you won’t get left behind!
Come for the morning or the whole day, whatever suits.
See our Rides List for further details.
Evening Pub Rides. On Wednesday evenings in the summer we enjoy short leisurely
rides to a local pub
See our Rides List for further details
Cycle Tours. Friendly and convivial Weekends away in interesting localities are
organised for the Easter, Spring and August Bank Holidays and other weekends, usually
in YHA accommodation or Bunkhouses. Also longer tours both in the UK and abroad
are organised by our members. Watch the website for details.
Audax Events. For the more experienced riders Bristol CTC members organise several
100k audax events during the year and there are others, from 100k to 200k run by the
other DA Sections. See the DA Events 2008 and http://www.audax.uk.net for more
details.
Winter Clubroom. From late September to April we have Clubroom night, on
Wednesdays at the United Reform Church at Redland in Bristol where an interesting
programme of cycling and other travel presentations are shown together with quizzes etc
and an auction of cycling bits and pieces. Free tea and bikkies, too! See the Winter programme
for more details
So this, briefly, is what we do. Come and join the happy and friendly world of CTC
Club Cycling, meet new people, keep fit, enjoy yourself and view the wonderful
countryside on our doorstep.
