Bicester Millennium Cycling Club was formed in 1999 in time, as its name suggests, for the new Millennium. The Club’s current membership is an eclectic mix of sporting and leisure cyclists, “roadies” and “off-roaders”, across a range of ages and experience. The Club provides a focal point for cycling enthusiasts from Bicester, a rapidly growing town, and the surrounding areas of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire including Brackley and Buckingham.
There are Club road bike rides every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday mornings throughout the year at 9:00 am starting from Bicester Leisure Centre. There are also occasional off-road / gravel rides and velodrome trips. Keep an eye on the website’s front page for updates.
Bicester Millennium Cycling Club promotes a number of Open and Club time trial events during the summer months, with many of these taking place on the perimeter track at RAF Weston on the Green. The perimeter track provides a safe, traffic-free environment which has allowed the Club to run the very successful and popular 4-up and 9-up Team Time Trial events and the opening round of the Oxfordshire Road Racing League.

Turn up and Ride!
If you’re thinking of joining our club, you are welcome to turn up and join one of the many club runs.
Please note that the club caters mainly for those cyclists who have a serious interest in cycling. However, adult novices, of whatever age or fitness level, can be catered for and would be welcomed, particularly on our monthly Taster rides where the pace is slow, the banter plentiful and the terrain is flat.
Road runs require a suitable road bike, either racing or touring/audax style. Mountain bike runs can be ridden on any suitable mountain or gravel bike but please note these runs can get very muddy!
Riders should be suitably equipped for the type of riding they are interested in. Helmets should be worn for your own safety, and in the case of off-road riding are essential. Participation is at your own risk. If you need further advice please contact a club representative via the Contact Us page.
