The Timmins Cycling Club is a great way to experience group riding in a friendly atmosphere. We cater to recreational road and trail riding from mid-May to mid-October. We also organize several cycling events throughout the season, often raising funds to support local initiatives.
Our goal is to maintain a community profile that promotes cycling as part of a healthy lifestyle. We do this by supporting an environment that creates friendship on, and off the bike. Naturally some of us enjoy competition, but our focus as a club is on enjoyable recreational riding that builds fitness, confidence, skill and cycling safety.
We welcome males, females, ages 10 and up, who are interested in touring, medium, and faster paced rides on the road and off. Our rides take place on a selection of paths, roads and trail systems that lie within and around the City of Timmins.
We have separate road and mountain biking group rides. See our Group Rides page for full details.
Affiliation
We are affiliated with the Ontario Cycling Association (OCA) as a member club. All members are covered under OCA insurance while participating in OCA and Timmins Cycling Club sponsored rides and events.
Visiting members of OCA affiliated clubs who present their membership cards are welcome to join our rides.
Governance
The Timmins Cycling Club is organized by a group of volunteers who work to keep the spirit of friendship, fitness and fun in all our events. Our efforts include:
- Membership recruiting
- Group ride scheduling
- Clinics and information sessions
- Recruit sponsors
- Social events
- Community involvement
- Supporting local sporting events
We operate as a non-profit club (incorporation is pending). Funds collected from membership and events are used to cover member insurance on rides and events, fund annual club events, and support local initiatives such as the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation and Mattagami Region Conservation Authority.
The success of our club would not be possible without the dedication of our members, volunteers, and the various organizations and businesses that form our community.
We welcome new members and volunteers to help with the growth of the Timmins Cycling Club!
