Cycling Weekly launched in 1981. Over the last 135 years, we've inspired thousands of cyclists to ride, but we've never had a club... until now.CW.CC is here. It's free, and you can join today.The club starts with a members-only area on our site. It's where we'll publish the very best of what we have to offer, for our most devoted fans. We've got more coming, too, with exclusive member-only training plans, plus bike fit advice from resident expert, Phil Burt. Members are able to comment and get stuck into the conversation, kicking off a discourse with our experienced journalists, perhaps even sparking our next ideas. But it's not all about written articles. The best cycling clubs are great because of the members that make up their club runs, and we'll be no different. We'll be shouting about our club riders in monthly features, starting with highlighting the achievements of riders taking part in our Big Ride Challenge. Our Strava club, where you'll already find over 12,000 members, is a great place for members to motivate each other and chat about their riding. If you want to represent as you go about your day-to-day activities, check out the link to our heritage clothing range which allows you to do just that. Jerseys and bibs are on the way, too; watch this space. Membership is free: you simply need to sign up with your email address. It's free.Read on to find out more about the benefits...

Join the rideEvery month, we set our Big Ride Challenge riders a host of new trials, culminating in a medal for every finisher, whether they completed 500 miles or the mega 5,000.
