We are one of the biggest and oldest cycling clubs in the British Isles participating in many forms of cycling.

This website (www.phoenixcc.net) is one of ways we relay information to members.  Our most important and up to date form of communication is the Phoenix Facebook Page.  Please take some time to visit us there.  This is where all up to the minute club information about events and what is happening is stored.   If you wish to contact us you can send us a message via Facebook and one of the committee will get back to you.

The clubs weekly activity is our Saturday morning club run.

Road

For most members the weekly Saturday Club runs are their main club activity. On Saturdays (the more popular day) up to 80 riders leave to cover various distances at different speeds. Usually 5 runs leave, distances range from 35 miles to 75 miles with the fastest run averaging 20mph and the slowest run about 12 mph, so there is something for everyone. If you wish to come along please get in touch first as you must fill out a ‘One Day Excursion Form’ to ensure you are covered by insurance.

A number of members compete in local road races during the summer months as well as our weekly Tuesday night club handicap races that are run on a league basis to find our club league champion.

Women are well represented at our club runs, club races and open races

Leisure

Leisure cycling is all about enjoying your bike and great company. It can be on or off road, though in Phoenix it is mainly road based. The venues can be on our doorstep, although in recent years more and more cyclists from the club are travelling to Majorca, the Alps and the Pyrenees to indulge themselves in their favourite sport.

Sponsors

The club is pleased to have as sponsors Daly’s Garage, Traction Finance and Gerard Maguire Solicitors.
