Welcome
A group of "Cyclists' Touring Club"
The oldest touring club in the world. Founded
1878
|
ctcWalsall,
the story began on 6th November 1920 with a group of like
minded
people, bicycling from Walsall to Stretton, West of Cannock,
Staffordshire for a pub lunch. From those early post war years, “The
Clubs”
activities have expanded into
cycle touring, camping, social, adventure,
Family
group cycling,
and expedition trailblazing. We have young at heart members,
active after eighty years of bicycling with “The Club”.
Young
riders gain experience and route knowledge from life long
supporters.
Make
"friends for life" with ctcWalsall.
