Cycling Clubs and Organisations
While it is great getting out and about it is always better enjoying it with others. If you are new to the area, scene, or just want to explore new places then check out the following links to local clubs or organizations. They offer routes, group rides, friendship and more importantly the motivation to get out when our weather lets us down.
Road and Time Trial
These clubs offer something for everyone but do tend to have a bias towards sporty riding and competition. Most events are held in the summer months while weather and roads are suitable. However the clubs do hold winter events and offer the chance to meet like minded people to train with during the misery of a British winter.

MTB Mountain Biking 
While trail centres are a 1stop solution there are plenty of old school trails around if you know where to look. Moel Ffamu and Cilcain are one destination and the peaks above the Horseshoe Pass & the whole area around Llangollen another.
