Updated guidelines for both riders and ride leaders
Club group rides are a mainstay of our activities and we strive to make them as fun and enjoyable as possible. Our ride leaders are all volunteers and when leading a ride listed on our rides page they become ‘club officials’, which means they are covered under the club’s insurance provided by British Cycling. All ride leaders should follow the ride leader guidelines which we originally published in 2021 and have just updated to include a section on e-bikes.
Similarly, all club members riding on our group rides should follow the rider guidelines which have also been updated to include the same e-bike section.
These guidelines are available on the Rides page of our website for all existing and potential members to read. If you have any concerns or questions on this, please contact our Club Welfare Officer at welfare@altoncyclingclub.org
Thank you

Club Hill Climb Championships 2024 ~ Results
On a fine, but windy morning we returned to the Brockham Hill course for our annual hill climb championships. Supported by an excellent team of marshals and timekeepers, 12 riders turned out to pit themselves against the 1.6km course. Congratulations to all 12 and a big thank you to the marshals and timekeepers for giving up their time.
Here are the results:
Club Hill Climb Championships, 29 Sep 2024
Our annual club hill climb competition will run again on the Brockham Hill course which starts in Holybourne.
Event start time is 10:00.
We are operating this event as a CTT ‘club event’ and entry will be free for club members who enter using this form. Other clubs’ members are invited to the event and can enter online via the CTT website (entry fee £5). Entries close at 17:00 on 26th September. By way of reminder, all entrants must wear a helmet and have a working front and rear bike light.
In addition to the Men’s and Women’s hill climb cups, we will also have honourable mention age categories and a category for e-bikes.
All club members are encouraged to enter the competition, help with marshalling the event or support the competitors from the side of the road.
Club Kit order window
Our next club kit order window will open on Sunday 1st September for 2 weeks. The range covers all the club items you might need for autumn and winter riding. Delivery timescales should be slightly shorter than our last order (approximately 6 weeks) as Bioracer is less busy in September.
Our full club kit range can be seen here, (you will need to register for an account if you do not already have one).
