Access premium content, be part of the club, and join the conversation with a free member account
Cycling Weekly launched in 1981. Over the last 135 years, we've inspired thousands of cyclists to ride, but we've never had a club... until now.
CW.CC is here. It's free, and you can join today.
The club starts with a members-only area on our site. It's where we'll publish the very best of what we have to offer, for our most devoted fans. We've got more coming, too, with exclusive member-only training plans, plus bike fit advice from resident expert, Phil Burt. Members are able to comment and get stuck into the conversation, kicking off a discourse with our experienced journalists, perhaps even sparking our next ideas.
But it's not all about written articles. The best cycling clubs are great because of the members that make up their club runs, and we'll be no different.
We'll be shouting about our club riders in monthly features, starting with highlighting the achievements of riders taking part in our Big Ride Challenge. Our Strava club, where you'll already find over 12,000 members, is a great place for members to motivate each other and chat about their riding.
If you want to represent as you go about your day-to-day activities, check out the link to our heritage clothing range which allows you to do just that. Jerseys and bibs are on the way, too; watch this space.
Membership is free: you simply need to sign up with your email address. It's free.

Meet the team
No cycling club is complete without a committee, right?
CW.CC is headed up by our editorial managers, Simon Richardson, and Michelle Arthurs-Brennan. It's still TBC who will be managing the annual time trial (we do have a weekly 10 mile TT, by the way!), and who will be tracking you down to ask you to lead the next Saturday outing...
Editor of Cycling Weekly magazine, Simon has been working at the title since 2001. He started racing in 1995 when moving to university in North Wales to Study sports science. He raced domestically for several years with his club Norwood Paragon, riding everything from Surrey leagues to time trials, track and even a few Premier Calendars. In 2000 he spent one season racing in Belgium with the Kingsnorth International Wheelers. Simon has covered the Tour de France more times than he can remember, along with two Olympic Games (Beijing 2008 and London 2012). He can still be seen at his club's evening races through the summer and riding the lanes of Surrey, Sussex and Kent, but he still hasn't completed the Big Ride challenge!
Michelle Arthurs-Brennan Editor of the Cycling Weekly website. An NCTJ qualified traditional journalist by trade, Michelle began her career working for local newspapers. She's worked within the bike industry since 2012, and joined the Cycling Weekly team in 2017, having previously been Editor at Total Women's Cycling. Prior to welcoming her first daughter in 2022, Michelle raced on the road, track, and in time trials. Whilst still packing in as many miles as she can, Michelle has dabbled in gym-based fitness, too, and is the title's expert in weight training, having gained a VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training in 2026.
