Women are an important and growing part of ARCC, we now have over 70 women in our club. Alongside riding with the wider club, we have dedicated Women only rides, supported by our Women’s Ride Representative and female committee members.
With Road Riding, Gravel, MTB, Time Trials, Hill Climbs, Cyclo-cross and social events, plus holidays in Mallorca and Sanremo there’s something for everyone. Our club has a non-drop policy so you will never be left behind. We ride together, support one another and make sure everyone gets to the end of the ride safely.
Whether you’re new to group riding, looking to build your confidence, or simply looking for a great group of women to share your love of cycling with, there is a place for you at ARCC!

“As one of the longest standing female members in our club I welcome the changes which have taken place over the last 17 years.
When I joined in 2011 there were only 3 ride groups and a small number of female riders. Although not unfriendly, the welcome to the club was not what it is today, particularly for female riders.
Our club has expanded significantly and now offers road, gravel and mtb along with an annual overseas trip and cycling days out for everyone to get involved. The club encourages all members to be part of the running of the club and I was part of the committee as Secretary for around 5 years which was a good way of getting to know other members.
We also have a women’s section allowing women who ride with different groups to ride together and meet up socially. It’s always worthwhile to swap experiences and pick up tips from a female perspective!
A great club to be part of offering fitness and friendship”
