Welcome to the Essex District Association of
The Cyclists Touring Club

Essex is a beautiful county.

We know this because our type of cycling takes us away from congested towns and into the countryside unspoilt by the motor car. Our rides through the villages can be like a step back in time as we admire the rolling landscape, quaint thatched cottages and the sights and sounds of authentic rural England. The pace of life in the countryside is matched only by our own modest speed.

There's a freedom and beauty about Essex that only cycling can do justice.

There's nothing special about what we do. Some of us ride with the CTC because of the companionship, some for the scenery. We all enjoy the fantastic bonus that this unstressed exercise really does keep us fit.

I hope the following pages will inspire you to get in touch with us.
