Use the menu on the left to find details of activities that the Beacon
organises. For advice about getting involved in other clubs' or organisations'
open events, see our page on other
cycling activities. As well as taking part in all these cycling activities,
our members regularly meet for meals, drinks, country walks and many other purposes.
Newcomers are always welcome at the Beacon. If you are thinking about joining,
you may want to get to know us a little before making up your mind. There are
three ways to 'meet' the club: by joining our message
board, by coming to a Thursday
night club meeting and by joining in with one of our club
runs. Beacon RCC is affiliated to Cycling
Time Trials (CTT), British Cycling (BC), the Cyclists' Touring Club (CTC) the
