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.

Boxing Day Ride

on Wed, 17/12/2014 - 16:18

For those who want to escape the house and ride off some of that Christmas dinner & Ale!

We will be meeting @ 10.00am outside The Bicycle Lounge for a steady couple of hours riding.

Steve Depport is taking the ride. If the numbers are vast we will have to split the group. So ride leaders will be required.

Steve is aiming to be back into Ormskirk for 12pm, so those who want to grab a swift beer on route or in Ormskirk you will need to arrange further details.

Ps I can't make the ride. Enjoy! 

Happy Christmas everyone and here's to a cracking HMCC 2015!!

Sun 21st - Shortest day/Longest ride (Orm - Wem - Orm)

After last years successful ride to Wem - Mark Titchener will be leading a ride from Ormskirk - originally the ride was to start at 7am but as it is only 50km to the first cafe stop then you all get an extra 15mins in bed the ride will start at 7:15am prompt. GPX attached (although Mark has lots of paper maps to keep you on course).

186km to the train station at Birkenhead - 210km for those souls wanting to complete the loop.

Those that complete the whole ride will be bought a drink at La Cantina - courtesy of Titch himself!!

A/B ride - Sun 14th Dec

on Thu, 11/12/2014 - 20:46

Not even mid December but I have already had a few too many mince pies so will be out to burn a few calories so I dont have as much to do in Jan.

As long as I have the numbers and this weather bomb has buggered off then happy to take an A/B ride out for a localish ride.

Route will take us out to Parbold - a couple of local lumps then a nice flat loop out towards Much Hoole and down the A59 to the Cafe at Rufford.
