Welcome to Ashbourne Cycling Club Website

A group of road cyclists have been meeting regularly over the past few years to ride in and around the Peak District.A number of the current riders have participated in the Etape du Tour in the Pyrenees and the Marmotte in the Alps.

The objective of the club is to encourage more cyclists of all abilities to join the club,both Men and Women over the age of 18 are welcome to join.

As reported in the Ashbourne Telegraph in October 2008, there was an Ashbourne Cycling Club operating from as far back as 1939. 

 On the edge of the Peak District National park we are so lucky to be able to ride in one of the most beautiful areas in England with quite country lanes and testing climbs providing a great variety of routes to suit all abilities.

Regular group rides take place on Saturday mornings - rides up to 4hrs with a tea stop. We will be promoting new ride options to appeal to different abilities

Men and Women over the age of 18 are welcome to come along and join us for a ride.

SATURDAY CLUB RIDE Meet at Ashbourne Leisure Centre car park at 8:30am, 40 to 60 mls with a tea stop, route will be posted on our Facebook page.

THURSDAY NIGHT RIDE  Meet at Ashbourne Leisure Centre at 6:20pm around 25 to 30 mls

Meet time at ALC moves to 08:30 from this Saturday*:) happy. Please find attached route, proposed route is out to Calver with a slight route change on the outbound going through Winster and Two dales taking on the climb of Sydnope Hill, this is a bit of a brute with a 20% ramp *#:-S whew! worth a go if you fancy testing your legs *;) winking. Alternative route is to take the usual route via Rowsley/Chatsworth and meet at the Cafe, the choice is yours*:D big grin.

Saturday 28th March route

Route for Saturday weather permitting*~X( at wits' end
Its a main road route, will have to be aware of icy patches where there is snow thaw, frost is forecast so make your own judgement on the day.
I have driven on most of the roads on the route over the past few days and they are ok *:) happy
Suggest we leave meet time at 09:00 until weather improves.

A good turnout for the club ride on Saturday saw us heading into the hills, tea stop at Flash Bar/cafe *:) happy where we caught up with Marie,Charlie and Jacqui. A slight change to the return route so we could miss the climb of Crowdecote took us over High Edge and past the race circuit with a fast decent back down through Earl Sterndale, Marie and Jacqui missed the turn and ended up climbing Crowdecote anyway!!*:-O surprise Well done girls *;) winking
