Cycling UK Oxfordshire Midweek is the hub for cycling in the county. We organise leisure, touring and off-road rides, social activities and we campaign for cycling.
Drop us a line and we will help you to find an enjoyable ride. The 8 Cycling UK groups in the county provide a whole range of rides from short confidence builders to day-long tours to exhilarating mountain biking. Or join our campaign for better facilities and more cycling.
Follow us on Facebook CyclingUKOxfordshire and Twitter @CUKOxfordshire. We also stay in touch by email (privacy statement).
Cycling UK Oxfordshire Midweek is a Formal Member Group of Cycling UK. We can trace our origins back to 1924, and for many years we were the ‘Oxfordshire District Association’ or ‘DA’ of the Cyclists Touring Club. In 2016 this group, then CTC Oxfordshire, renamed as Cycling UK Oxfordshire, reflecting our broad range of cycling activities and interests. In 2022 Cycling UK Oxfordshire merged with CTC Oxfordshire Midweek to form Cycling UK Oxfordshire Midweek.
- We organise our own rides and events in Oxfordshire, including weekly Wednesday rides from places across the county, an annual Century (100 mile) ride, a Triennial Veterans Century Ride (last in 2016, next in 2019), and social events such as Pot Luck Suppers or Picnics. (Click here for Rides guidelines)
- We are the responsible group for the Informal Member Group in Wallingford: CTC Wallingford.
- We support other Cycling UK member groups in the county: Oxford City, Isis Cyclists, and Wantage.
- We campaign for better cycling facilities and support, to enable more people to cycle for more of their journeys.
