Chester Touring and Mountain Bike Club is renowned for its tireless dedication to enjoyable cycling.

Our monthly rides on the 1st Sunday of the month into Cheshire or North Wales are carefully punctuated by visits to coffee shops, lunches at country pubs, and even tea stops. Since we aim to cover around 40 to 45 miles during the day, only moderate fitness is required - as well as a bicycle!

As summer advances, additional rides on the 3rd Sunday of the month range further afield, allowing us to visit more distant parts of Cheshire. Our summer programme is enhanced by weekly Wednesday evening rides, meeting in front of Chester Town Hall for a prompt 7pm departure. These are easy rides aimed at beginners and which maintain the social atmosphere that all our rides convey. We usually return to a reputable inn for a chat and refreshments. Lights may be needed early or late in the season.

Mountain biking also forms part of our activities, with no hill so steep that we will not hesitate to walk up it (and down if it is dangerous). Please contact for further information about these rides.
