Club Runs
Tuesday, Friday, Sunday 10:00 -15:00 club run from Hickory Smokehouse, Shavington, CW2 5AF
Typically 40-60 miles at 13.5-15mph.
The mid week rides are extremely popular with our retired members who know pretty much all there is to know about cycling, including where the best scones are to be found. Sundays work for those that can't get out in the week. Expect a warm welcome, a good days riding with great company and great routes, expect to have cake, expect a "no drop" policy. The group has a Whatsapp chat to keep the members informed about who is out etc.
We also have various other groups who meet up for faster and / or longer rides who coordinate their ride details through Whatsapp chats, get in touch if you would like to know more details

Crewe Belles
First Saturday of the month during British Summer Time, 10:00 - 14:30. Ladies only ride from Queens Park
Cycle clubs have traditionally been very male dominated. CCW has a proud history of high achieving female riders and looks to actively encourage and support female riders in all aspects of club riding.
During British Summer Time the club organises a ladies ride on the first Saturday of the month, leaving Queen's Park Cafe at 10:00am.
Several female club members will ride with you on a pre-determined route with a cafe stop and a strict "no drop" policy. They will be able to support you and answer all of your cycling and club related questions.
Group Riding
For those new to club cycling, riding in a group can sometimes seem rather daunting. When riding in a group it is usual to ride in pairs and observe certain rules which are important for the safety and enjoyment of the ride. There are good reasons for this. Riding in pairs is more sociable, you can talk to the person next to you, and:
- It makes cycling easier, the person in front “slipstreams” you meaning less effort on your part, particularly into a headwind.
- It helps ensure everybody stays together so riders don’t get dropped.
- It makes it less likely that riders at the back get caught at traffic lights and roundabouts.
- It makes it easier for those at the front to communicate with those at the back and vice versa.
