Road riding
CUCC has a very active road riding section. On the racing scene out 'A' team came 1st in the BUSA 25 in 2002 with our 'B' team coming 3rd - a great achievement. There are a number of weekly training rides ranging from one and a half hour medium-paced rides, to fast and furious chain-gang style riding. If you're not a racer, not to worry since there are weekely touring rides to either find your legs or to regain them after a break! For more information, see our club rides section.

We try and get away once a term to go and ride in more challenging areas such as the Yorkshire Dales or the North York Moors. Currently, events are as follows:
The Michaelmas term touring weekend is now confirmed for the weekend of the 29th and 30th of Novembver. Our venue for the weekend is Acomb youth hostel in Northumberland, not far from the town of Hexham (a general map can be found here). Within road riding range of the Scottish border and with the mountain bike tracks of Kielder nearby, this should have something for everyone. The hostel capacity is 32 people. so come along and bring a friend as well! The cost forthe trip will be 50 pounds per head and this will include transport from Cambridge to Acomb, 2 nights and Acomb YH and an evening meal. Please remind yourselves of our suggested kit list (it is likely to be pretty cold!) along with our riding guidelines and safety policy before coming along. More details soon.
