About our club

If your 'main ambition' in cycling is to compete in races, crits, or time trials -then we may not be for you.
Our priority is sociability. For us cycling is as much about friendship and enjoying the ride than anything else.
We offer a range of rides for all:-
Saturday and Sunday Club rides throughout the year
Assorted Gravel/Off Road Rides throughout the year
Informal club rides throughout the week arranged by members

All of our rides are published to members on our dedicated rides 'WhatsApp' Club facility.
The club also arranges regular overseas excursions to takes part in sportive both gravel and road, mini tours, and other adventure days out in the saddle.
We encourage riders to take part in at least one charity ride per year and we annually raise money for a local charity.
Visiting various coffee stops for refuelling is usual for the longer rides, with late breakfasts for winter rides.
In the summer months we often finish off with some fermented barley, hops or grapes- if you get my drift

As a Club we are totally inclusive with an annual subscription of £20 per year.
We do however require that all members join British Cycling to ensure adequate 3rd party Insurance cover or to have in place some alternative 3rd party Insurance cover

Our main cycling group is based in East Yorkshire although we do have other members dotted around the country/globe
There is blog site called 'Travels with my Mule' which shows some of our adventures and can be found at philipshrimpton.blogspot.com
We also have a Facebook page called Mules UK Cycling Club along with a Strava Group Page
Many riders delay or put off joining a club because they think that they might not keep up, that is rarely the case. If your still not sure drop us a line and we can chat it through.
