Bookings can now be taken for the Spring 2019 Sheffield CTC hostel weekend on Friday 17 May to Sunday 19 May 2019 to Ironbridge Coalbrookdale Youth Hostel. Details here
The staff at Amici and Bici have advised us that from now on you will be asked to show your CTC/Cycling UK membership card when ordering a hot drink before the start of a ride, otherwise you won’t be offered the discounted price. This is to make sure that only those entitled to it get the benefit. To be fair, this is the basis of the agreement that we originally struck – it’s just that we’ve got a bit lax on both sides at putting it into practice.
So remember, no membership card = no £1 drink.
Wednesday 17th October – Fat Cat – 6:30pm
Sheffield CTC’s AGM will be held on the 17th Oct and the committee members would like to canvas, beforehand, the views of the membership on the subjects of what the club does well, badly and or should do less of or more of. Plus what new activities might fit in with our overall brief of being a cycling touring club. We exist to meet the needs and wishes of the members and this is a chance for us to know your views and for you to let them be known.
Please email your views to rides@sheffieldctc.org.

Message from Barry, 11th February 2018. “Due to another cancellation, there is a vacancy for one person either male or female on the Stratford on Avon weekend. I will leave this vacancy open for two weeks and if nobody comes forward then I will reduce the number from 46 to 45. All the places on the acceleration to Derby have been taken so anyone taking this place will need to:
1 Cycle the full distance, or
2 Use the trains between Sheffield and Derby, or
3 Drive down to Stratford.
If anyone needs further information, please contact me as soon as possible”
