Welcome to Amersham Road Cycling Club!

Amersham RCC was established in 2006 by a group of local riders to cater for cyclists of all ages and abilities. Despite our name we are based in Great Missenden, in the heart of the Chilterns, where we do the majority of our riding.

Riding with ARCC

If you are considering joining a cycling club why not give ARCC a go and come along to a club ride? Vanessa who joined us on a recent steady ride said “I had a great first ride, everyone was incredibly friendly and we had a lot of fun!” We recommend new riders start on the Sunday steady ride which tend to cover a distance of around 40 miles, or if more experienced join the Sunday Moderate ride which is usually 50-60 miles at a faster pace (see Rides section).

If you are fairly new to cycling and would prefer to try out a shorter ride, some of us are planning to meet up occasionally on a Saturday morning and you would be more than welcome to join us. Contact Rachelle on 07946 222159 or via email rachelle@amershamrcc.com for more information.

Club Rides

We run rides on Saturdays and Sundays, and on Wednesday evenings from March to October.  There are three rides on the Sunday, called the Steadies, the Mods and the Elites, to cater for different cycling strengths.  The Saturday and Wednesday evening rides tend to start together, with speed groups forming  as the ride progresses.  You will find more information under the ‘Rides’ tab, and more details about each ride from the drop-down menu below the ‘Rides’ tab.

Our Sunday rides are the main activity of the club, and start from the Link Road Car Park (where parking is FREE on Sundays) in Great Missenden.  You can find out more information about club rides by clicking on the Rides tab. View a map of where we meet on Sunday mornings.

Other things …

There are other facets to ARCC!  You can find out about them, and how to contact us, by clicking the tabs which appear at the top of this, and all other pages. Use the ‘Contact us’ tab for Membership and Parental Consent forms.

… and finally, Club Riding Etiquette/Guidelines

Although we are mainly a social club that doesn’t try to boss its members about too much, riding in a group requires taking responsibility for both your and, by your actions, other riders’ safety. As a club we have developed a set of guidelines that should be read prior to riding with us and followed thereafter. Please click HERE to view our guide to ‘Friction Free’ riding.
