Race

Bath Cycling Club has a very active and enthusiastic group of members who compete in local National B, Regional A and Regional B races, with several 2nd Cat, 3rd Cats, new and upcoming 4th Cat riders.

This includes a very strong group of Masters racers who compete in British Masters Cycle Racing, National Championships and overseas races. We are blessed with the many local criterium races with the purpose built circuit at Odd Down in Bath as well as weekly races at Castle Combe, Thruxton, and at Maindy – it is possible to race 2 or 3 times a week through the season.

We also organise a number of competitive events throughout the year that are open to both Club and non-members . These include:

• 24 mile hilly, 10 mile and 25 mile Open Time Trials
• An annual Hillclimb on North Road in Bath
• An annual Road Race held on the Stowey Circuit
• A three round criterium series held at the Odd Down Circuit in Bath

Full course details, and dates for the Time Trials and Hill Climb are published on and event entry registration is through the Cycling Time Trials Website. Just search for Bath CC on the Find an Event page.

Road Race and Criterium Series dates can be found on and entry is via the British Cycling Website. Just search for Bath CC using the events search feature.

The dates for these events can also be found published on our Club Calendar.

If you have any further questions, then come along to the Saturday morning paceline ride (see the Ride page) and ask around; there is bound to be someone who has experience of road racing, and you can always contact the Road Racing Secretary for further help and information here: roadrace@bathcc.net
