Somerset Road Club
The Home of Cycling in Taunton
Welcome
Somerset Road Club has members drawn from Taunton, Bridgwater and the surrounding area, with wide ranging interests and abilities.
We have a rich history of racing, with members participating in road, time trial, cyclo-cross and MTB events. However, the majority of members just ride for pleasure, enjoying the social aspect of cycling in the club and a good coffee stop.
For more information about our rides, check out our Club Rides page and FAQ section.
If you’re interested in joining the 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 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.
Disciplines
Somerset Road Club members participate in all forms of cycling including road and circuit racing, time trials, track, touring, sportives and leisure riding. Check out the brief details below for more information.
If you are new to cycling or perhaps thinking of purchasing your first bike you might find visiting The Bicycle Chain stores in Taunton, Bridgwater or Weston-super-Mare a great help or talk to some of our members.
