Ravensthorpe Cycling Club
is a friendly social club based in the heart of West Yorkshire. Formed in 1891, we are one of the oldest clubs in the country, with a HQ and ride base in Mirfield, just a mile down the road from where it all began.
A website revamp will soon have an archive of historic club documents, articles, race reports, and photos from our illustrious 134 year history.

Club Rides
Get out and ride with others, improve your cycling and make some new friends. We have four planned rides a week, all suited to different fitness levels, as well as other rides arranged by club members.
Year-round Saturday rides are a great way to meet new members, discover new routes, and pick up group-riding tips. There’s also a Wednesday morning ride, and the traditional Sunday Club Ride lets you test yourself on longer, more challenging routes — nobody gets left behind.
February and March bring the weekly “Ride To The Sun” reliability series. As the days lengthen, summer delivers our epic “monuments”: Blackpool, Ribblehead Viaduct, Feizor, Hornsea, Sutton Bank, to name a few — plus the Thursday hilly ride, or “The Trash”
