Welcome

Welcome to Portsmouth CTC - the friendly club for anyone in Southeast Hampshire or Southwest Sussex who likes cycling. It doesn't matter whether you're an experienced cyclist or a beginner, or lapsed. Or whether you like to ride fast or just potter along enjoying the beautiful countryside of Hampshire and West Sussex. If you're bored cycling on your own, or on the same old route, come and try us. We know all the best country lanes to avoid traffic, and the best tea shops! And it's not all men - over a third of our members are women.

How we organise rides

Most of our rides are subject to a limit provided by the ride leader. You're welcome to join any of our rides, but you will probably be asked to book first. This page explains how to book a place. We hope to see you on a ride soon.

You could also try one of the many routes in our library or mix and match to create your own.

We run several weekly rides to suit all tastes and abilities - click here to see our ride types, and here to see what you need. Anyone is welcome, but if you aren’t a Cycling UK member, we ask you to complete a ride entry form and observe our guidelines for club rides. If you like us and want to ride regularly, you'll need to join Cycling UK, which gives you local membership and many additional benefits, including third-party insurance.

We also run cycle tours at home and abroad, work with local councils to improve cycling facilities, run social events and produce a bi-annual magazine. Some of our members attend other cycle events, such as randonnée or Audax rides. And did we mention we're very friendly?

Not sure? Please explore our website, or fill in the 'contact form', or just come along for a quick chat ten minutes before one of our rides!
