Welcome to the Huddersfield and District section of the CTC. Please have a look around at the site as we keep it as up-to-date as possible for your benefit. The News page and Events page are the best places to look for all the information you need. Please feel free to contact any of the members whose contact details are on the Contacts page - we will be only too willing to help or point you in the right direction. The Information page also has some useful information which is relavant to existing riders and potential new members, so make sure you check it out.

The website still has some bits missing, but these should be added when possible, so please keep checking back.

Website News

Firstly, just a quick note to say that John Radford remains in HRI at the moment, but hopes to be out midweek.

The next big thing to come to this website will be a quick chat page. This will essentially be a very cut down forum for us to chat about all things CTC. I have only just started coding it (I can't use a pre-buit forum because I don't want people to have to register and log in just yet). I do, however, want it to be secure, so it will take a little time.

In the meantime, here are some topics of discussion for you to think about ready for the Quick Chat page to appear:

Ride Starts: the idea of starting rides at 10a.m. in January and February to avoid frosts. The ride would then miss elevenses and would aim for an early lunch.
Location: Some members are keen to have Somerset Bridge as our sole starting point on the basis that you alwaays know where the start is, and the other starts we use are not really far away and don't really give much advantage. The Tints also always start from there.
Charitable Status: The current edition of ""Cycle"" introduces the debate about charitable status which we are all going to be asked to vote on. Personally, I felt that the arguments were not clearly put for ordinary members like us as they assumed prior knowledge of a number of issues such as what charitable status really involves. Your comments would be most welcome.
