Cmc Cycling Club Llandeilo

Cycling Club for everyone - you'll never be alone on a club ride. All ability groups catered for.

READERS PLEASE NOTE: -

In December 2019 the management of The Cawdor decided that the facilities we were using, were needed for a commercial project. The club moved on a temporary basis to County Cycles in Cross Hands which is a business owned by club members Sandra and Peter Jones. We are thankful to them for providing this facility to ensure that club activities can continue until a permanent arrangement can be agreed.

The CMC Cycling Club was launched in November 2011 and after a few years in Gelli Aur, moved to The Cawdor Hotel Llandeilo. The hotel has superb facilities for club members, including a club meeting room, showers, secure bike storage, secure parking and a choice of rooms to hold indoor training sessions and audio visual presentations. After every ride or turbo session on Tuesday nights, we convene in our very own "Club Room" for FREE tea /coffee and snacks. As a club we pride ourselves on the way we welcome new members, no matter their level of cycling experience or ability - all are welcome (after all we all had to start somewhere! ). We meet every Tuesday at 7. 00pm for a short ride or turbo session. On Wednesday mornings, there's an informal ride for those with days off or retired and an organised club ride on Sundays of varying distance. Paid -up members are covered by our group insurance on these rides. The Annual membership fee is just £25. 00 per person and this includes free ride insurance, generous discounts from our Club Sponsors - County Cycles of Cross Hands and also includes FREE refreshments on Club Night - at just 48p per week it's outstanding value for money!

The Club has recently promoted it's first ever cycling event - The DamBuster Ride. In collaboration with The Douglas Bader Foundation, the event was organised to commemorate the famous raids on the dams in Germany by 617 Sqd during WW2. This successful raid accelerated the end of the war. In the spirit of the event, riders with disabilities rode alongside able-bodied cyclists up to Llyn Brianne Reservoir above Llandovery. At the DBF feed station, riders witnessed a fly-past of aircraft piloted by individuals with significant disabilities - a truly moving moment when our club philosophy of "inclusivity" was never better demonstrated. : -)

If you can ride a bike you're welcome at our club.
We look forward to meeting you one Tuesday evening.
