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.

Similar to Mr Poll, heading out through Standish towards Bolton. Up through Barrow Bridge, then the climbs of Sheephouses & Angelzarke before heading for home.

A bit more climbing than the last couple of weeks but we should be back in Ormskirk about 12.30.

The most romantic weekend of the year and nothing we love more than our bikes, so planning a slightly longer route this weekend (if the forecast is kind).

Plan is to take a direct route to Rivington, take the long drag up Chorley Old Road, left at the Bob Smithy Pub and round to Belmont and then back over Rivington and drop down to the reservoirs, back through Chorley and home. Unsure on a cafe stop will take a view from the group and see how we get on timewise. With no cafe stop expect to be back at the shop around 12:30ish.

With the growth of the B groups anyone wanting to give the A's a go

The weather looks to be thawing a bit so we will venture a bit further this Sunday. Heading out to Croston, then Whittle le Woods before looping around Brindle and Brinscal. Heading back through Chorley towards Appley Bridge then the run home via Bickerstaffe. Might throw in Bank Top to take the BOOM out of anyone's legs before the extended sprint finish to Aughton.smiley

Should be back in Ormskirk for 12.30.

Not planning a cafe stop but if you want one then Fir Tree Farm at Kings Moss or the cafe at the post office at the top of Appleby Bridge might suit you.
