About our club

Alton Cycling Club was formed in 1878, and still provides a welcoming and safe environment for the enjoyment and promotion of cycling in the Alton Area. Membership spans all ages and genres of cycling activities, definitely including social ones as well!
Whether you want to race in time trials or simply cycle socially with likeminded individuals to take in the beautiful local countryside, Alton CC provides an excellent environment with a wealth of experience from its members.
Alton CC enjoys the sponsorship of Owen’s Cycles and Hi-Tech Heating. Owens Cycles is a shop in Petersfield and offers discounted purchase of cycling equipment for members. Owen is a cyclist himself and former national BMX rider.
Alton CC is affiliated to the CTT (UK body for time trialing) and to British Cycling (UK body for road racing).
Depending on membership appetite, during winter months, Alton CC also hires the indoor velodrome at Calshot Activities centre, where track sessions are run with a qualified coach, sessions culminating in a friendly “Track Champion” cup competition.
Group Club Rides:
Sunday rides go from the Alton Butts at 9 am and usually cover 50 – 60 miles, and occasionally longer, with coffee (and cake!) halfway, and a pub finish for those inclined. There are normally three Sunday Groups, a club ride, a medium pace ride (13-15 mph average) and a faster pace ride (17+ mph average). We have also introduced a Tuesday ride which leaves Alton Butts at 9 am and usually covers 50 - 60 miles, there is a short ride on Monday evenings starting at 6:30pm from the Butts during the summer.
Club nights are once a month and are held at the French Horn, The Butts, Alton - all are welcome to come along and meet Alton CC members.
