Welcome to the website of Lindsey Roads Cycling Club. Since its inception in October 1970 the club has been run by its members to promote cycling, both social and competitive, in the North East Lincolnshire area. We are affiliated to British Cycling, Cycling Time Trials, Cyclists Touring Club, Lincolnshire Road Riding Association and the British Schools Cycling Association. We run a program of club time trials from April to August and reliability trials in March and September as well as year round weekly rides. Please use the navigation to the left to find out more

The club will be organising an open 10 mile TT on Saturday 8th June on the usual C10/4 course (Limber to Laceby roundabout and back). The changing rooms and signing on will be at Limber Village Hall and first rider is off at 2pm. This time trial must be entered in advance, either via the Cycling Time Trials website https://cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/race-details/18534 or with an entry form (can be printed out from the CTT website) to M.Silcox, 32 Romsey Court, Grimsby, DN34 5TY. Entry fee for this event is £10 and the closing date for entries is Tuesday 28th May. We will have some entry forms at the next 3 club time trials and Maureen will be there to take your entries. Hope to see lots of you there.

When taking part in any club or open Time trial, Cycling Time trial rules state that marshals are not in place to control traffic and riders must adhere to the rules of the highway. This means at junctions such as Laceby Roundabout the onus is on the rider to safely negotiate their way around the junction and give way to traffic as per the normal "Give Way to traffic from the right". Please ride safely.

The first of our 3 race series kicks off Thursday 30th May. Being designed to open up the chance to have a go at road racing they are open to club members only. The move to Thursday avoids disrupting the TT series and means riders can still ride a TT as well.
All events are run on a Handicap basis to enable riders to ride with others of similar ability. Handicapping is not an exact science but with subsequent events on the same circuit the results from event 1 can be used to help with events 2 and 3.
IMPORTANT. To ride you must have a TLI Licence. These cost £15. see http://www.tlicycling.org.uk/JoinRenew.aspx?cookieCheck=true

The TT this Tuesday 30th April is a Retro TT. Entrants can ride there TT bike if they wish. However to gain League points you must ride "Retro". That means No Aero Helmets, no tri bars and no deep section/Disc wheels. Re "Deep Section" rims up to 30 mm are acceptable.

Hi all. Quick reminder. Chris Sidwells is visiting our club room tomorrow evening. He's a close relative of Tom Simpson and will be giving us a presentation about Tom both from a sporting and personal background. Chris can offer a unique perspective on what made Tom a world champion, yellow jersey holder and winner of races such has Milan San Remo. The event is free of charge to both club members and guests. Light refreshment will also be available. Start 7.30 pm as usual.

The reasonably good weather brought out over 120 local riders who took part in our recent Ron Smith ride. A cheque for £450 will be going to Lincs Air Ambulance.

Within our TT League we run a separate League for riders aged 50 plus (Must be aged 50 or over on or before the first counting event of the 50 plus league. Thus to be eligible for 2019, D.O.B. must be on or before 16th April 1969). Counting events are all the C10/4 and Fonaby 1 lap events including the club's open 10.
IMPORTANT, TO BE PART OF THIS LEAGUE YOU HAVE TO "OPT IN". TO DO THIS PLEASE CONTACT COLIN ROBERTS EITHER VIA TEL 07802734062 OR E MAIL fitter0910@yahoo.co.uk
This league is separate to the other leagues. Race results are based on your 10 mile "Standard" time. This is a form of age related handicapping. For more info look at VTTA web site.
Various awards are up for grabs including a Trophy and 3 medals for the overall. Also Fastest and fastest "Standard" time on the C10/4.

The 2019 mid week Time Trial league kicks of this Tuesday (16th April) with a Fonaby 1 lap. For 2019 we are now meeting at the Limber Village Hall rather than Limber cross roads used previously. Also we are having the use of the village Hall to offer Toilets and Changing facilities. Cost to ride is £4 for members and £5 for non members. We use this fee to cover CTT levy of £3 per rider per event, with any extra funds used to help cover our running costs. Please note due to available Light we start all three April events at 18.45.pm. To ease with the organising it would help if riders arrive around 18.15pm.
