Shaftesbury Cycling Club

Shaftesbury Cycling Club Cycling Club based in Mountnessing, Essex, UK. Shaftesbury Cycling Club is one of the oldest continually existing sporting clubs in the world.

Established in 1888, less than 3 years after the invention of the modern bicycle, ‘The Shaftesbury’ has thrived for over 130 years. From its headquarters by the picturesque windmill at Mountnessing Village Hall Shaftesbury CC blends the finest traditions of the local UK club cycling scene with a modern and forward looking presence, generous benefits, and friendly and inclusive attitude. Whether a

complete beginner, veteran plodder, or dedicated racing athlete, ‘The Shaftesbury’ offers support, advice, and friendship to every rider. It is truly remarkable what the bicycle can do for those that recognise its near magical properties for the soul and adventure, joining our club helps unlock that potential, expand opportunity, and build pride in being a part of history.

Chapeau to the new National Champions (and those who retained!)

Our evening 10 mile TTs are well and truly back with round 4 taking place last night under near perfect dry and fast conditions. James Jenkins took the win in a very fast time as he warms up for the RTTC national circuit championships this weekend, with Matt Steel in 3rd doing the same ahead of the road bike competition.

But performance of the night must go to Tony Poole who dropped a huge PB of 23:45 dipping under the magic 24 minute mark on a road bike! Chapeau to him!
