Welcome to the Oxonian Cycling Club
The Oxonian Cycling Club is a friendly, sociable club providing opportunities for all ages and abilities to take part in competitive and non-competitive cycling events. You will easily find other members to ride with who have similar interests, be that racing, training, recreational riding, audax or sportifs.
For further information see About Us or feel free to Contact Us. Or find us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, click on the icons below.
Next weeks TT Race is Burford/Lechlade 10 mile, Wednesday 19th August. Please register on the Race Calendar page.
As you may expect, there will be some changes to how we are running the events. Pre-entry is required, and will close at 9pm on the day before each event. In order to minimise contact at the events, riders will be allocated a number for the season. You will collect your number at the first event that you ride, and keep it for future events.
In addition, you will need to enter on-line for each event that you wish to ride in. Please use the entry link next to the event in the calendar.

Payment
We are only accepting payment electronically. Our preferred option is Direct Debit. If you already pay for Oxonian membership by Direct Debit you can choose to use that, otherwise we will send a link to set one up after you register.
The entry fee has been increased to £4.50 in order to cover the increased cost of running the events.
Non-members welcome
As with all our club time trials, non-members are very welcome to ride as day members for an additional fee of £2.
In the event that we have too many entries, we will give priority to members of the organising clubs (Oxonian, Mid Oxon, Zero BC, and OCRC) but otherwise allocate places in the order that entries are received.
Leiden Plaque Inter Club 25 TT Monday 31st August
Calling all Oxonian CC time triallists! This year’s Leiden Plaque Trophy, organised by Banbury Star CC will be held on Bank Holiday Monday 31St August. As many of you will know this is a fun event utilising the CTT Handicap rules to generate the results. The Leiden Plaque was presented by the Swift Cycling Club in 1952 to commemorate the annual exchange visit between Oxford and Leiden cyclists. It was hoped that a team from Leiden in the Netherlands would compete this year, but sadly due to Covid19 this was decided against.
Judging by the number of participants in the shortened Club Time Trial Program, I am sure you will all be keen for a further opportunity to test your hard-won form.
