Otley Cycle Club have been cycling for over Ninety years, and with British Cycling qualified coaches, Go Ride accreditation and a strong and expanding junior membership we are getting more and more people to experience the thrill of two wheels.
We are proud to have won the first ever Cycling Weekly Club of the Year in 2018, a wonderful recognition for the hard work put in by all our volunteers who keep the club running smoothly.

New date for Reliability Ride - Sunday 15th February 2026

We have had to rearrange our Reliability Ride date this year due to road closures so that we will now ride on Sunday, 15th February 2026. Our thanks go to the team at Alba Rosa Cycling Club who have kindly agreed to swap ride dates to help us out.
We have a broad range of activities from social through to racing. You can join the club on this site, get a flavour of some of our activities and, as a member, login to add and join riders and contribute to the various groups.
We're proud to have Olympic Silver Medallist, World and National Champion Lizzie Deignan, MBE as our patron.
