Somerset Road Club
The Home of Cycling in Taunton
Welcome
Somerset Road Club currently has over 120 members drawn from Taunton, Bridgwater and the surrounding area, with wide ranging interests and abilities. Although we have a strong allegiance to racing, promoting road and circuit races and time trials, the majority of members don’t race and value the social aspect of cycling in the club and love a good cafe stop. For more information about our rides, check out our Club Rides page and FAQ section.
As well as road cycling, we have members competing in cyclo-cross and mountain biking and welcome new members of all ages, interests and abilities.
If you are interested in joining our cycling club, please see further information under the FAQ section or email our Membership Secretary for further details.
In addition to this website, we also have a Facebook Page and Facebook Group where more information is posted about current events and ad-hoc rides.
We are proud to have a long established relationship with our sponsor The Bicycle Chain, who have stores in Taunton, Bridgwater and Weston-super-Mare. Please support our sponsor and ensure these local cycle stores continue to thrive.
