Road
This is the most popular type of cycling within the club. Most members regularly join in with our weekly club social rides. See our Group Rides page for more information about club rides, or download our Handbook.
Types of Cycling
Salford Cycling Club caters for a range of cycling disciplines. Here are the main types of riding the club gets involved in.
Time Trial
Just you and your bike against the clock. This is still the only form of racing that is routinely allowed on UK roads, and a surprising number of open-entry TT events are held throughout the season. You could even follow some of our members off the bike and test yourself at triathlons too.
Cyclocross
If you like to avoid the traffic, we have a wealth of local trails and routes to enjoy. If you prefer to do it competitively, we also have members who actively participate in the North-West Cyclocross Association's racing programme.
Off-Road
Salford offers access to an incredible range of off-road cycling routes, including a virtually traffic-free 15 mile loop that is perfectly manageable on a road bike and ideal for beginners. For the more adventurous, Greater Manchester offers hundreds of miles of accessible trails that we regularly explore.
