Happy 1st Birthday Ilkley Cycling Club!
Ilkley Cycling Club has been hugely popular since it restarted in the spring of 2011 and now is celebrating a very successful 1st year. As a modern cycling club our structure and ideals are to be open and supportive of everyone in our cycling community. Our motto is 'from recreation to racing' and we aim to cater for all abilities and cycling disciplines. We welcome riders new to group cycling and offer beginner/steady ride options.
As we have just celebrated our first birthday its now membership renewal time. We have made it easy for you to join or renew your membership as we now have an online facility via paypal, see the join us page. It’s still only £10 for and individual and £15 for a family for the year.
The club rides go out twice a week on a Thursday evening and Sunday morning with an additional women's specific ride on Monday mornings. Have a look at the rides calendar and rides page for more details and routes. Sue Booth is our ride coordinator if anyone is interested in helping with the rides please email her for more information on rides@ilkleycyclingclub.org.uk

Our 11 trainee Level 2 British Cycling coaches have been running sessions for our youth members on Sunday afternoons at Ilkley rugby Club. These sessions have been really good fun and everyone has learned a lot already! The coaches will hopefully all be fully fledged by May when the regular sessions will be able to begin, see the juniors page for more details.
The racing season is well underway with club time trial records falling already and members collecting points in road races. If you would like to have a go at racing ICC are offering different options this year with our club time trial series underway which is open to all members and is a really good opportunity to try time trialling in a friendly, supportive environment. If you’ve never done it before or if you’re a seasoned racer, it’s a great course and we’ll be cheering you on. Also, on 1st July we are having a day of races on a closed circuit at Sherburn in Elmet, with categories from under 8’s to elites, which will be a fantastic day out for all, details are on the racing page.
The White Rose Classic is going to be a massive event with so much going on on the day, for riders and supporters alike. Whatever the weather, it’s going to be an epic day. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to take part and look at the WRC pages now!
Our next velodrome trip is on the 28th April at 8pm. Details of how to book a place are on the ICCForum.
As you can see there is a lot going on and a lot more in the pipeline so keep watching this space. We hope you are all enjoying being part of Ilkley Cycling Club and we’ll see you on a ride soon.
Happy cycling!
