‘Plan’ for Sunday 29th
The latest forecasts show about 2C at 9 am rising to 2 or 3C at 11am, so little point in having an 11 oclock start. However it should have been dry for at least 24 hrs. So, if you feel like riding, please turn up and sort out the rides depending on numbers (and motivation!)

Winter Rides
Plan B (which is short for Plan B** Freezing) is an 11 am start and a shorter ride. This is the standard plan if the temperature is too low at 9am but should rise enough to be OK at 11 am. But please, as always, make your own decision if it’s safe to ride. Ride leaders (some of whom are more cautious than others) will make their own decisions, but are NOT weather forecasters. You are responsible for your own safety, as always.
Please check this page for any last minute calls about rides. Sam.

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 most abilities. Despite our name we are based in Great Missenden, in the heart of the Chilterns, where we do the majority of our riding.
——————————————————————————————————–
If you are considering joining a cycling club why not give ARCC a go and come along to a club ride? We recommend new riders start on the Sunday steady ride which tends to cover around 40 miles, the more experienced should join the Moderate ride which is usually 50-60 miles at a faster pace, the ‘Mods Plus’ if you want faster still, and if you are serious cyclist (especially if you are strong on hills) the Fast group is probably for you (though you may want to check you can handle the Moderate rides with ease first).
Alternatively, if you are fairly new to cycling and need to build up your fitness before joining us on a club ride we may be able to put you in touch with others who are new to riding and are looking for training partners. Contact Rachelle on 07946 222159 or via email rachelle@amershamrcc.com for more information.
Before you ride with us, please read this.
- ARCC rides are not coached sessions and there is no organiser or leader with legal responsibility for other riders. A club ride is simply a group of riders on a joint excursion on the open road which may include sections on busy roads.
- ARCC actively encourages all riders to carry emergency contact details at all times and also have some form of 3rd Party liability insurance in place (typically British Cycling or CTC insurance).

Club Rides
We run club rides every Sunday. There are four ride levels (Steadies, Mods, Mods Plus, Fasts) to cater for different cycling strengths. You will find more information under the ‘Rides’ tab, and more details about each ride from the drop-down menu below the ‘Rides’ tab. (If these tabs don’t work for you for some reason, you get get the same information via the site navigation bar on the right.)
Rides leave at 9:00 am 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…
….further details about time trials and other club activities can be found by clicking on the links above, or to the right.
… 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’.
