Shared Objectives! MCC belongs to us all.

We have members who are willing to lend their skills and talent to the club. You’ll find that they can help you become a better rider and make cycling more enjoyable.

Sometimes cycling on your own is great, but a lot of the time being part of a cycling club is the best way to go riding. If you have become a regular cyclist or are looking to improve your skills and knowledge, it can be beneficial to join a local cycling club.

There are typically clubs that cater to all skill levels, and it can be important to ensure the cycling club is the right fit for you. Benefits of being a member in a cycling club include;  learning about new routes and roadways, building your skills and knowledge of cycling, the ability to develop and maintain a training regimen, gaining discounts for local shops and races, participating in team-based cycling races, and of course developing companionship and fellowship with like-minded people.
