The CTC Ayrshire Club is the county's largest cycling club group with a well established, all-year programme of rides varying from 15 to 75 miles.
With the emphasis on leisurely social cycling we are always glad to welcome new faces on our rides - and you don't have to sign-up immediately.
Come along and sample the range of rides to find the one that suits your cycling aspirations - and ability.
To browse the events we have to offer, use the Events links at the top of the page.
Events during the next 30 days are shown below.
Sun 27th May at 10:00
Easy event
Starting at Glengarnock - Railway Station
This 24 mile route will initially head east past Beith via minor roads, then swing north-east in the general direction of the Glennifer Braes.
The route climbs steadily from the start to the highest point at the 10 mile mark, before dropping down into Johnstone and then heading back towards Howwood to pick up the NCN 7 cycle route. The last few miles are fairly flat as this cycle route is followed all the way back to Glengarnock.
Picnic lunch.
N.B. Remember to bring food as there are no shops near the start point or on the majority of the route, as we stick mainly to quiet minor roads.
Wed 30th May at 10:30
