Click to find out about - National Benefits - Local Benefits
The
East Sussex Cyclists' Touring Club is a Local Group of CTC - the
UK's national cyclists' organisation.
The
local club exists to organise rides and special events for CTC
members in the East Sussex Area. However, anyone may come
along to try out Club riding or take part in one of our events,
we simply ask that after 3 or 4 rides, if you are not already
a member, then you join the CTC, since membership gives you third
party liability insurance and free legal aid for cycle related
matters - we hope you never need it, but it's good to know it's
there!
The local group consists of people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds
but with a common interest - CYCLING. We are a touring Club, not
a racing one, and everyone is welcome whatever their ability or
age - though we do ask younger riders (under 16) to bring an adult
along. We offer the opportunity to ride in company, to explore
some of the less well known parts of our area, and to enable you
to meet others with an interest in cycling & the outdoors.
East Sussex has several subsidiary groups - to find out more about
them and their activities click here.
If you
are thinking of coming out but are new to cycling or club riding
it is a good idea to check with the relevant Secretary as to the
suitability of a particular ride, especially if you have not done
much cycling in the past.
