Alton Cycling Club has been promoting all forms of cycling for over 30 years and in doing so caters for both serious and social cyclists of all ages.

Our cycling club is sponsored by Owens Cycles who maintain a stock of club kit at their Four Marks Store. Club members enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases from Owens Cycles.

We promote two open events, a hilly 50km and a 25mile time trial, as well as a series of evening club time trials for club members and other riders. Club members compete in time trials and in road races organised by the LVRC and British Cycling. We also organise track riding sessions at Calshot Activity Centre during the winter months.

For social and club riding we always support CTC North Hampshire with whom we have close ties. They organise rides for most weekends of the year with social rides going from Alton Community Centre on Saturdays and mid-paced and faster rides going from Alton Butts on Sunday mornings. Details of all rides and leader contact details can be found on their web site.

Alton CC club nights are held on the third Monday of each month starting at 7:30pm at Newton Valence village hall. Everyone is welcome! We also hold a BBQ an annual Dinner and Prize Presentation.
