About Beacon RCC
Beacon RCC is a vibrant, well-established cycling club based
in south Birmingham. The Beacon exists to help people get
the most out of all branches of the sport and pastime of cycling.
Our members are young and old, male and female, keen competitors
and casual weekend riders. A selection of members is shown
in our picture
gallery. We are actively involved in all of the following:
- Sociable group riding: club runs to local cafés and meeting
points
- Time trialling: on-road individual or team races against
the watch
- Road racing: mass-start races on the road
- Track racing: races on indoor and outdoor banked cycle
tracks
- Cyclocross: cross-country circuit races
- Audaxing and cyclosportives: on-road challenge rides,
often involving large numbers of people riding at their
own pace
- Mountain biking: off-road challenge rides and races
- Race training: preparation for the competitive-minded,
on the road and on indoor static trainers
- Touring: extended rides to or in more distant places
- Commuting
- Coaching and promoting cycling, in schools and other
settings
- Cycling-related talks and presentations
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 Road Records Association (RRA) and
the Midland Road Records Association (MRRA).
