About us
Ribble Valley Cycling and Racing Club, has offered cycling opportunities for nearly 60 years. Whether you're an experienced rider or seeking a leisurely hobby, we have something for you. The club retains the word "Racing" in its name to honour its history, but it now primarily serves as a club for social cyclists.
The Sunday Club Ride
The Sunday Club Rides run weekly from March to November, starting at 9:00 a.m. from Preston College car park. Rides are typically 40-50 miles but may vary with the seasons and the weather. All are welcome, but after three rides, we request that you join the club. Between December and February rides are organised on an ad hoc basis by members.
Wednesday Night Ride
The Wednesday Night Rides run weekly from April to September, starting at 6:00 p.m. from UCLAN’s sports arena on Tom Benson Way. Rides are typically 20-30 miles. All are welcome, but after three rides, we request that you join the club. The regular attendees of this ride operate a WhatsApp group.
Mountain Bike Rides
Some of our members regularly take part in mountain bike rides. Those members who are interested are invited to join the Mountain Bike WhatsApp group.
Short Rides - For members who feel unable to complete a Sunday ride of 40-50 miles we are happy to organise shorter rides at the request of members.
Social Events
The club holds social events throughout the year. We meet every second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. These gatherings usually take place at The Continental (South Meadow Lane, Preston, PR1 8JP) although the venue can vary with the details posted on to our Facebook page. Anyone considering joining the club is welcome to come along and meet the members.
