Welcome to CTC Tayside's Home Page!
You are invited to take part in our rides. See Cycling rides for programme and below for monthly rides from Dundee. These are sociable rides at a comfortable pace, ie not fast. If you prefer a faster pace please contact the Secretary and offer to lead one.
Dundee Railway Heritage ride
Meet Discovery Point at 10:00 for 10:30 start for informative Railway ride which David Martin will lead. It will only be about 11 miles but will take 2 hours with frequent stops to point out historical remains. David has done a lot of research into this project so I hope you will support him. Bring food and drink but there is likely to be a stop at the end of the ride at the new Bridgeview Carriage Restaurant which is by the free parking area on Riverside Drive.
