Why join Stourbridge Cycling Club?
Stourbridge Cycling Club will welcome anybody who wishes to follow cycling as a sport or pastime, whether competitively or simply for pleasure. Whether you are young, middle aged or retired, there should be a ride to suit you, we hold rides on most days of the week and a selection at weekends.
Cycling can be a tough sport or pastime but you can choose which level to ride at, from the off-road Saturday ride, Sunday touring ride to hard, aggressive, gruelling days out with the fitter groups.
You can try us out with three rides before we ask you to join.
There is a choice of how to join Stourbridge Cycling Club:
Either – follow this link to join via British Cycling (preferred). Note that although BC membership is recommended, it’s not a condition of SCC membership so any prompts on the BC website for this can be ignored. This can also be used for existing members renewals.
Or, follow this link to download a membership form and email it to our membership secretary. For more information, e-mail the Membership Secretary.
No. Enthusiasm for cycling is the most important thing. Some members do have flashy bikes but the truth is they don’t help you ride that much faster when you’re a beginner. For the club runs, a suitable bike should be used. We recommend you ride with a helmet and bring a spare inner tube in case of a puncture. Please see, Preparation for a Ride“
No. We have members from all over the Black Country, and farther afield
There are also a selection of rides midweek.
Or – follow this link to download a membership form and post it with your fee to our membership secretary. For more information, e-mail the Membership Secretary.
