We recommend that all senior members join British Cycling (Silver or Gold) or CTC to obtain the benefit of insurance as well. All racing members require at least Silver BC membership in order to hold a racing licence.
Club Runs and Midweek Rides
The Paragon organises regular rides both at the weekend and during the week for training purposes. The program can vary according to the time of year and members' racing commitments so please contact us for the latest details.
