Riding sits at the heart of Cycling Clan.
It’s how like minded cyclists connect, locally & across borders.
Some rides are social & accessible, others more focused and performance-driven.
They happen close to home, or around travel, events, & shared ambition.
There is no expectation to ride everything.
Participation follows interest, availability, & curiosity.
Rides
Rides are organised locally and coordinated through the Cycling Clan Strava club.
This is where routes, dates, updates, & participation come together.
Local chapters manage their own rides, reflecting their rhythm & context.
Some rides are recurring, others form around events, travel, or shared ideas.
The website provides orientation.
Strava is where riding actually happens.
How rides are organised
Rides take different forms, shaped by place, people, & intent.
Some are regular & social, designed to be accessible and easy to join.
Others are more focused, shaped around training, performance & shared goals.
Beyond local riding, the network also comes together around travel, events, & long weekends.
Gran Fondos, training camps & longer-format challenges are all part of the rhythm.
Not every ride is for everyone.
Choice & flexibility are part of the culture.
Types of rides and events
Riding formats
Participation in established races, Gran Fondos, and endurance events.
Some ride to compete, others to complete, but the experience is shared.
Going together matters more than outcomes.
Official events
Social ride weekends, training camps, and destination formats organised by the network itself.
These rides focus on time spent together, community, and shared experience.
Pace and structure may vary, inclusion does not.
Cycling Clan events
Regular local ride-outs form the everyday rhythm of the network.
They are accessible, often informal, and sometimes spontaneous.
This is where people return, connect, and gradually become part of the community.
Local rides
No single format defines participation.
Choice and flexibility remain central.
The following overview highlights selected rides and events the Cycling Clan plans to take part in throughout the year.
