Time Trials
During the warmer months the club holds a season of time trial events. These take place every Thursday evening (late April until late August) from the local town of Lavenham, based at the public car park beside the Cock public house opposite the church. We have four courses varying in length from 8.5 to 13.2 miles.
We welcome visiting and new riders to our time trials, but riders must be a member of Cycle Club Sudbury or another Club affiliated to Cycling Time Trials (CTT), for insurance purposes.

Sunday Club Runs
During those cooler months, and even the down right frosty ones, the club will be found meeting on the Market Hill of Sudbury at 9:00 most Sundays for a club run of about 38 miles. On the first Sunday in each month, the club run is shorter, at about 28 miles, for those who want to try a club run to see how they get on.
Don’t worry, the pace is relaxed and the option of a bacon sandwich is almost certain!
For further information about club runs contact the clubruns coordinator via the CCS website contacts page.
Family Days Out
Throughout the year the club will organise the odd day out for the family. That’s right, rather than leaving those loved ones to ride your bike, you can bring them with you.
Popular events include a day out at Thetford Forest for a picnic and a game of cricket.
