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.

Sunday 22nd February 2015 'Race Group'

"When 'Wilkos' away the racers will play"

  Change of plan for Sunday as I believe the weather is going to be a bit hit and miss, with it deteriorating after midday.  This, combined with distance and ETA back, will make the job harder to recruit 'Race Group' riders for a 'spin up' over to Waddington-'Bashall Barn' (save this one for a nicer day)

  So with this in mind, and to take your minds off the weather, we're going to keep it local, flat and very fast (this is NOT an easy option) (this is NOT a no-drop ride) read on;

  After a 10-minute warm up to the 'Ring O Bells' we're going to follow

Sunday 15th February 2015 Race Group

  With 'Commander Wilko' being away in Scotland this weekend/next week (bloody Teachers i hear you cry wink) he's asked me to step in and lead the Race Group out this coming Sunday 15th February.

  The ride will likely encounter a few hills en route, although nothing too strenuous, a few downhills and some flat long speed TT sections.  So something for everyone.  The pace will be kept within Race Group perimeters, at 18-20mph avg, slighty slower on the hills will be permitted, with re-grouping at the bottom of them.

  NO-ONE to be left behind except at the end, after Croston.
