Welcome

Welcome to the official site of the Brampton Cycling Club.

Don't let the name fool you we cycle in many places besides Brampton! Founded in 1972, the Brampton Cycling Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and enjoying road riding in the western Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

We have active touring and racing programs aimed at riders who are semi-serious to very serious about their riding, but not so serious that we don't have a great time on our rides and at various social events that are sprinkled throughout the year!

Please browse the Racing and Touring pages to see what we have to offer. If you would like to join us, please visit our Membership section for details on joining the club, or visit our online forum to have a chat with us. Please do not hesitate to contact any member of the executives for further information.
