Where We Ride
There is great riding in pretty much any direction from Ilkley. Over the years, the Club has amassed a library of over 300 routes in our Route Library. Whether you are looking to push your limits, just pootle up the Valley for some fresh air, get a taste of the Yorkshire Dales, or to head out to flatter lands to the east, there is a route for you. Here is a sample of routes, one of more than a dozen route "collections" in the route library.

You're Webmaster!
The Club website is a cooperative effort. Like Wikipedia, logged-in Members can contribute directly to this site: create a ride with the Rides App, add Calendar events, and even modify or add pages to most of the menus. Spot a typo? Fix it!
To add a new page:
- select the menu you want,
- scroll to bottom of menu,
- select "+Add New" at the bottom,
- create the page you want.
Choose a topic that is both cycling related and something that other Club Members will be interested in. Be sure to add an image or two to make it visually appealing.
Editing existing pages is just as easy. Except for Home and Favourites menus, just click EDIT at the bottom of the page. To move an item to the top of the menu, click the Bump to Top checkbox just below the HEADLINE when editing a page.

Local Partners and Supporters
Many local businesses support the Club in various ways, from discounts offered to members to event sponsorship. For example, Lister Horsfall jewelers have been the headline sponsor to the Town Centre Races for a number of years. All the local bike shops, including Ilkley's own Wheelbase and 93 Cycles, but also including other shops further afield, such as All Terrain in Saltaire, Chevin in Otley, Paceline Cycles in Cross Hills, and Prologue in Harrogate offer Club members discounts.
Our partners are a diverse group of businesses, not just cycling related.
Get to know who supports the Club. And don't be shy to ask other local businesses why they are not already an ICC Supporter!
Get the kit
As Club members we like to ride in Club kit. Typically kit orders go out a couple of times a year. Members will receive an email when the order window is open.
More details here on ordering Club Kit.
Mud Flaps – During the winter months, when the roads always have a sheen, your tyres throw muck up on you, and those behind you. Mud guards are great - for you, but if you ride in a group, then a mud flap in back is mandatory. You can order mudflaps online here. They come in pairs, front and back, and in a selection of widths and lengths.
If you need help fitting mud guards and/or flaps, ask around in the Club, or go into one of the local shops that support the Club.
