About the Club

Rotation in a paceline

Welcome to the Club Cycliste Beaconsfield (CCB)! We organize several recreational cycling group rides per week where members head out in speed groups of 4-12 riders and ride in a paceline on courses ranging from 50 km to 100+ km in length. We accept riders of all levels of group riding experience and try to emphasize fun, safety, camaraderie and performance.
