With the successes of the British Cycle Team in the 2008 Olympics and the performances of British cyclists Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins in the Tour de France, cycling in the UK is enjoying some good years.

Why not join in - there are many benefits to cycling and being in a cycling club. It’s a great form of exercise. Whether you take it brisk or leisurely, your body will get a workout. You’ll soon start to feel fitter.

There’s also the social side – out on the road you’ll find it easier and more interesting riding in a group – we look out for each other and never leave a rider. We are a friendly club – not too pacey on the road (unless we are competing) and we welcome new members. Drighlington BC is affiliated to British Cycling and Cycling Time Trials. We take part in, and organise, a number of events.

If you’re thinking of taking part in competition, our members will help you get prepared and pass on year’s of experience and tips. Of course, if you’re not into racing but just want to ride, our Sunday runs are open to anyone. Our Kit (opposite) is available at a discount and is great value.
