Welcome to Lancaster Bicycle Club! A recreational cycling club serving Lancaster and the surrounding areas with over 700 Club members and over 2000 Meetup members. We host around 600 rides per year.

Rides are classified in six levels:

Fun Rides: <25 miles, average pace 11 mph or less (the slowest cyclist determines the pace), and group waits for all cyclists. Frequent rest stops. Good for beginners and families. Try a Fun Ride if unsure of your abilities.

Casual Rides (D): 25 to 40 miles, ride pace typically 12-14 mph (the slowest cyclist will determine the pace). For stronger Fun riders who want to ride longer distances.

Intermediate Rides (C): 25 to 40 miles, ride pace 14-16 mph. For riders looking to ride faster than a Casual Ride pace. Group could possibly splinter into smaller groups.

Advanced (B): 25 to 40 miles, ride pace 16-18 mph. For riders looking to ride faster than an Intermediate Ride pace. Group could possibly splinter into smaller groups.

Challenging Rides (A): 30+ miles, pace 18-20 mph. For riders who want longer distances at a faster pace. Group will likely splinter into smaller groups.

Follow the guidelines to ensure an enjoyable ride for everyone. If unsure on a ride classification, select a lower one from what you think you can handle.

LBC supports the community with grants for cycling infrastructure having granted over $500,000 for local cycling related projects. Money is raised through the Covered Bridge Classic in August.

NOTE: Being a member of our Meetup group does not make you an LBC club member. Please join as an individual or as a family at: https://LancasterBicycle Club.net.
