About Salt & Sham

Formed in 2013 by 10 friends, Salt & Sham Cycling Club has grown organically, thanks to the founding members ethos of Collective Cycling and the friendly atmosphere. 

The club aims to promote cycling in the South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset and Bristol area. As such we are a non-profit club and any financial surplus from membership is used to support cycling in the local community via our activities. We extend a welcome to cyclists of all standards and membership is open to anyone interested in recreational or competitive cycling, regardless of sex, age, disability, ethnicity, race, nationality, sexual orientation, occupation, religion, political or other beliefs. 

We welcome riders of all abilities and have 200 members and even a club house at Keynsham Cricket Club, between Bristol and Bath.

Our club members are involved in a wide range of cycling disciplines, including Road Racing, CX, TT, MTB, Audaxes and Sportives, as well as those who just like a social ride. 

At the heart of our club is the Saturday club ride, The Lap Of The Lakes, which takes place every Saturday at 7am (8am Dec – Feb), Ashton Way, Keynsham, Bristol and sees us follow a 45km loop around the beautiful Chew Valley countryside, ending up at Keynsham Cricket Club for breakfast. Everyone is welcome and nobody gets left behind, so come and join us. We have a growing ladies group who ride together and regularly try out different routes. If you ride an e-Bike don’t worry you’re welcome to come along and ride with us.
