CS Dynamo cycling club was established in 1984 and quickly attained recognition as a drinking club with a cycling problem. While several members still attain Olympic standards in drinking we also have high class serious racing members and not so serious keen cyclists with a mutual appreciation of the wonderful surrounding countryside that we are fortunate to live in.

Wednesday Runs
The club has a short run on Wednesdays. It starts at 2.00pm from Pine Ridge - at the very top of Hulham Road. We usually ride around 20 to 25 miles - occasionally more or less, depending on the weather - with cafe stops at options of Newton Poppleford, Clyst St. Mary, Ottery St. Mary or Escot. If you are retired, work flexi-hours, have a day off or are on holiday, why not join us - you would be most welcome.
Sunday Club Runs
Meet at 9.00am every Sunday at the top of Hulham Road, between the junctions of Summer Lane and Dinan Way.
These runs are for the more regular cyclists and consist of two or three ability groups, depending on numbers. The faster group ("A Run") is for the more serious cyclist with the run generally lasting 3 to 5 hours at an average pace between 16 and 20 miles per hour. The other group may be out for a similar time but at a pace nearer to 12 miles per hour. A third run may fall some where between the two.
All runs generally visit a cafe for "tea and cakes".
If you attend one of the Sunday runs always make sure that you bring food and drink to maintain glucose levels and hydration levels, even if we are going to stop at a cafe.
The "A Runs" proposed routes for the coming weekend are detailed on the Web Site under "Club Runs".
The "B run" is generally decided on the day but quite often ends up at the same cafe via a shorter route.
Non-members are most welcome to ride with us on a Sunday to see if they like us. You will be covered by the Club's Insurance for third party damage, through British Cycling
