Based in the county town of Suffolk, England and founded in 1892 our club is one of the oldest in the Eastern counties. Our aim is promote all aspects of cycling both competitive as well as for pleasure and transportation 

At present we have about 100+ members who participate in all types of events ranging from clubs runs, Audax and touring to Time-Trials, Road Racing, track (both hard track and grass), MTB and Cyclo-Cross.

In particular we have enjoyed many off road successes in cyclo-cross and mountain bike races and this is where many of our members excel. This is also an ideal way for youngsters to start, as there are no traffic worries. Most events run an under 12's race

For more information on Cyclo-cross visit the  EADT Eastern Cross League site or British Cycling Cyclo-Cross website. and our links page.
