Welcome to the Dumfries Cycling Club web-site.
We are a long established club of over 60 members whose activities range through road racing, sportives, audax, reliability rides and time trialling. Beginning in the Spring, the club organise a full calendar of time trials and road races. Many of our members participate in sportives and are happy to share travelling to these events. You are welcome to join us for our regular club runs (usually between 40 - 50 miles) on a Saturday morning where all abilities are catered for. Routes are set in advance and displayed on this web-site with updates and advance notices on the Dumfries CC Forum.
During the winter months we organise longer Winter Runs. Check this site and our forum for details.
