Clarion CC

I remember back in the eighties doing 10 mile evening time trials and other rides along with my Dad at a cycling club in Notts. We would cycle out either via Colwick or Radcliffe for the meet. I can’t remember the exact location of the start/finish but there was a lay-by there where everyone would congregate. What I did remember was the name: Clarion.

For some reason, maybe watching the Tour of Britain, the name popped into my head and I decided to look them up. Turns out the Clarion CC has a pretty long and interesting history based in the socialist movement.

There is apparently a London section of the club so I’m going to try and find out the details and see about joining them for a ride.
