Beginning as an informal meeting of riders outside the local bike shop in Ormskirk, HMCC was officially formed in 2008, named in honour of the late Harry Middleton – a well known local cyclist and owner of the bike shop.

Since 2008 the club has grown massively in popularity now having over 350 members of all ages. The club has managed to retain its casual, informal friendly attitude to cycling with the main priority being enjoyment and encouragement for riders of all abilities and experience, who just want to ride their bikes.

So, whether you'd just like to join other people on social rides, get fitter and improve your riding skills, or ride in sportives and races as a British Cycling affiliated club rider.

From April to September ​- Harry Middleton Cycling Club will be holding their weekly Go Ride youth coaching sessions from April, 6.30PM until 7.30 PM. Please email - info@thebicyclelounge.co.uk for further details....

HMCC has something for everyone.....

Join us. Find out more about membership and how to join us on an organised club ride.

Time for some more hills (particularly for anyone going to Great Dun Fell next week).

The nearest we have locally is the climb to the mast on Winter Hill, so that is where we are going. We might take in some other lumpy bits on the way too.

 With 'Wilko' AKA 'The Boss' heading North early this week and not to be seen back around these parts until early afternoon. 

I find myself in a position to lead a '1st Group/Race Group' from the shop at 09:00, as with friends and family commitments I need to be back in the front door by 12:20!

The ride will likely encounter a few hills en route, although nothing too strenuous, a few downhills and some flat long speed (TT position) sections.  So something for everyone.  The pace will be kept within Race Group perimeters, at 18-20 mph average, slightly slower on the hills will be permitted.

This trip is the next one up on the calendar so time to get organised.

The route will be the same as last year (thanks to Neil Poll) but we will go clockwise, the other way around to last year.

Starting in Kendal it is 85 miles and 8,000ft of climbing. Starting with Shap Fell, then Great Dun Fell, cafe in Appleby, back to Kendal.

Great Dun Fell is unique and you really need to ride it. A dead end road up to a radar station, restricted for cars so pretty much traffic free. A 4.5 mile climb of 2,100ft with an awesome descent.

We will ride as a group, the distance and climbing will dictate a
