Welcome to CC Breckland

Cycling Club Breckland was formed in 1975 – it takes its name from the Breckland area of South-west Norfolk – originally an area of light sandy soil, heath and the native Scots Pine, but now much of this area is covered by Thetford Forest.

The club holds activities over a wide area of Norfolk, and has weekly club meetings at Shipdham United Reform Church Hall – between Dereham and Watton, starting about 20:00.

Sunday club runs leave Dereham Market Place near the War Memorial at 9:00 for a ride of approximately 50 miles at 15-16 mph. Contact Rod Hobbs 01362 692246 for details.

Cycling Club Breckland is not sponsored, but is a sponsor of East Anglian Children’s Hospices (EACH). The very popular ‘Ride for Life’ organised with Eastern Counties Newspapers, for EACH, is based at Santon Downham in the heart of the Thetford Forest. Cycling Club Breckland is indeed lucky to be situated surrounded by so much excellent cycling country.

A full calendar of time trials is promoted. And even for the less talented the cakes are always of the highest order. In this field of sporting cycling the club has achieved considerable success, holding at various times a number of National Championships and Records.
