About Marlborough CC

Introduction

Marlborough CC is a friendly, welcoming club which is affiliated with British Cycling. Joining Marlborough CC is a great way to enjoy cycling in the Marlborough area with a great bunch of people.

Club Origins

For a few years the club rode under the banner of Bertie Maffoon’s, the original bike shop in Marlborough. We rode from the shop on Saturday mornings in all weathers and even when there were only two of us. Over the years the group grew and, although sadly the shop is no longer there, the group have stayed together. In 2018 we came to the conclusion that we should create a formal club and Marlborough CC was born.

Riders

Marlborough CC are a quite a varied group all sharing our enjoyment of cycling. We’re not an elitist bunch of roadies who look down on those who have the wrong length socks or who can’t hold 6 W/kg for an hour. We welcome anyone who enjoys riding their bikes, likes a chat and is happy to work up a sweat.

Club Kit

Club kit is available. This is a new design for 2021. The profiles in the fades represents the profiles of our favourite hills in the area. It is a really striking jersey! The kit is supplied by Kalas and a number of different versions are available at different price points. The pattern is also available as a long-sleeve jersey and gilet.

Please get in touch if you’re a member and are interested in ordering some kit.

"Training Camps"

Each year we try to go away for a long weekend in the Spring for what we like to call a Training Camp. We have been to Mallorca and to Altea on mainland Spain for four days of riding up hills in the warm on quiet roads. They’re a good way to ease us into the year and set us up nicely for sportives such as the White Horse Challenge.
