We organise rides and other events to suit all abilities of cyclist, both on and off road. Our rides start from Reading, Bracknell and Wokingham and enjoy the countryside of Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Hampshire.
Visitors are welcome - it costs nothing to join our rides. We think that you'll soon want to join the CTC as there's so much more than just rides. Read about the benefits of being a member - you might save your membership fee in bike shop discounts! You can join now online.
For further information about Reading CTC please contact the secretary David Roberts on 0118 986 2763

A reminder to all that our summer BBQ is coming up very shortly on Saturday 11 July, and will this year be held in the Finches' garden in Woodley. Tickets are available now at £4.00 each from me (Catharine) via e-mail at socialsec@readingctc.co.uk or on 07929 178960; alternatively you can contact my assistant, Jennifer Bruce on 0118 950 0458.
The format's the same as in previous years: you bring meat or a veggie option to grill, plus drink of your choice, and we provide salads, puds, bread, equipment and anything else that's needed (bar the weather!)
If you're interested in coming along to this most seasonal of socials, please let either me or Jennifer know by Wednesday 8 July at the latest so we can get the catering numbers right.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Catharine and Jennifer
PS As always, if anyone's willing and able to help out with food preparation, setting up or transport, please do get in touch asap. Thanks.
Is anyone interested in going to France between 2nd and 9th of August for a cycling week at the Semaine Federale in St. Omer? There will be on and off road rides.
If interested contact Bernie on 07749222620.
All the best

We are making a donation of charitable funds collected in the past (to be clear, a late donation to last year's charity) to support the Air Ambulance. There will be a press release to accompany this, and it would be good to have some abridged stories from our members of occasions the ambulance has been used. Cycling related is great but not essential. Thanks, Richard.
On June 6th Reading CTC made a donation of £100 to the Restoration fund for Beech Hill Village Hall. The photo http://readingctc.co.uk/docs/misc/BeechHill.JPG shows the cheque being presented to Graham Bell, the Deputy Chairman of the Village Hall committee. The presentation was made at the start of the "To Emsworth and Back" Audax.
Due to previous lack of interest new dates have been scheduled.
TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) are conducting cycle safety tests from 11th, 12th July and 18th, 19th July at Nine Mile Ride, Wokingham.
"It would be four sessions of approximately 40mins cycling through a signalised crossroad.
There is over an hour break between sessions and I would recommend bringing something to read.
Lunch, snacks and drinks will be provided."
£35 per day.

Dear Members
I've been your Runs Secretary for almost 6-years now and I've decided not to stand for election again at the AGM. It's time for a rest - you've had to put up with me for quite long enough! This means that Reading CTC will need a new Runs Secretary in October. Do you have a passion for our Rides List? Are you up for the job? If you are, you'll get lots of help from the team of 10 Runs List Organisers. If you're interested but not sure, come and have a chat with me or any committee member.
Best regards, Richard
The forums have now been updated and you can now access them without having to go to the members area.
You will just need to fill in a few details, and will require a valid email address.
The old news Items and for sale pages have now been replaced. Existing News posts have been re entered, but will appear as owned as admin. If anything is incorrect let me know and I'll amend it.
In future you will need a Forum login to add for sale items. Front Page news is currently restricted to the committee but
this will be resolved soon.
