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.

on Fri, 22/06/2018 - 11:05

Not sure how numbers will be this week with the club trip etc. Conscious of the England match at 1pm, I want to get out and back for beers and football.

Going to take a flat ish route out over to Tockholes where we then head up and up over Belmont and loop back though to home.

70 miles shop to shop. 
3.5k of climbing.

Pace will be a sensible A Pace or a strong, 'pushed' B Pace.

Knott End / Fleetwood / Blackpool Loop.
100 miles
18.5mph avg
​8am meet @ TBL (Back by 2pm)

Done my fair share of lumps and bumps recently so planing to enjoy the sun and skirt round the cost tomorrow.

Plan will be meet at the shop for 8am, deprt by 8.05 prompt. Head up through Preston to Knott End for a cafe stop before ​looping round to the Fleetwood peninsula and returning down through Blackpool and Lytham St Annes. Finish with a beer in the sun in Ormskirk!!!

Pace will be A group Pace although due to the lack of lumps, strong B group riders wanting to push themselves should be fine.
