About our club
Welcome to the web page of Dundee Thistle cycling club. The club caters for all levels of cycling whether you are a racing/sportive enthusiast or a more casual rider looking to keep fit and enjoy the social side of cycling.
During the summer months we have a weekly Thursday night APR training session. The runs are quite competitive and are roughly 20 miles over relatively flat terrain. In the winter months, weather dependent, we have Wednesday night runs which are over varying terrain. Both runs meets at 6pm in Invergowrie.
Weekend club runs are held on most Saturdays and Sundays and details of where to meet and distance will be posted to our Facebook and Twitter pages on a weekly basis. These club runs will vary in length from 50 to 80 miles and will always have a cafe stop.
Club runs are open to all so you don't need to initially be a member of the club to join in the fun. We do however recommend for regular club runs that you can average around 15/16mph.
We have a New Recruits ride which is held on the first Saturday of each month and this is aimed at individuals averaging around 13/14mph who are looking to improve and then join the main club runs.
Mostly we put on road runs but have an active mountain biking group which meets at 6:30PM most Tuesdays. The route can vary although we generally meet at the Tay bridge and do a ride to Tensmuir forest through Tayport.
Club Members meet on a monthly basis to discuss proposed events and sportives and we encourage as many members as possible to get involved.
