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.

Check the details on the forum for some options. There is already a pre dinner ride for Saturday and a post dinner ride on Sunday. Both could be weather affected. The post dinner ride could be hangover affected. There are usually some plans made and agreed at the dinner too.

All a bit vague but it is club dinner weekend.

Looks like a windy one tomorrow, but no reason not to go out!

Probably do the ride I was planning last week, taking in Rufford for anyone wanting a cafe stop.

Back to Ormskirk about 12.30.
