This will be a Ticket only event and entries are capped at 400.
The Route:
Cyclists will start at the Ulster University Belfast Campus on Friday morning, travel to Jordanstown campus, on to Coleraine and finishing at the Magee campus in Derry~Londonderry where there will be a food and refreshments waiting for them.
Riders have the option to book into campus accommodation for Friday night, or one of the city’s fantastic hotels.
On Saturday, the cycle will start again, retracing the route from Magee, Coleraine, Jordanstown and finally Belfast.

Sunday Introduction Ride – Cancelled
We never want to cancel a club ride, but having walked around a few of the local streets, it is icy in parts of the roads this morning. So in the interests of our members safety, especially with potential newcomers, we are cancelling today's Sunday Intro Run.
Your safety is important to us, and if you do venture out please try to stay to treated roads, and stay safe.
Georgian house scones now serving in Daft Eddie’s
Last year, on a very wet and dismal November Saturday, some brave B2s ventured to out to Antrim, and a few B1s ventured to Islandmagee. On the way back they called in on DSNI’s Supporters Family Fun Day for some warming food, and chat with DSNI sponsors, staff and sports athletes.
A few were even…
Well the celebrations are over, and every cyclist is now looking forward to the summer months of longer days, dry roads, and sitting outside cafes in the sunshine.
If you enjoy road cycling, and have wondered about cycling with a club, we have the trial run just for you. Every alternate Sunday we run a 23 mile Sunday Intro cycle, which allows you to try out group cycling with others. And of course we stop along the way to enjoy some coffee, scones and craic at No 14 at The Georgian House in Comber.
If you're interested, there are more details about the route here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/110633/group_events/550182
And if you want to schedule a ride, contact us on Messenger, or email titanicquartercc@gmail.com
We look forward to meeting up with you.
Don't forget, it's less than two weeks to our pre-Christmas cycling favourite, the TQCC Santa Cycle.
This year we start and finish at Connswater Community Centre, and follow much the same route as previous years.
It all takes place on the morning of Sunday 8 December. And finishes with some mulled wine, mince pies, and some craic in Santa suits (provided on the day).

We said we'd get back to you with the fundraising amount from our Charity Quiz and Awards Night, and it is good news. On Friday we all raised a grand total of £820 towards the club's nominated charity Disability Sport NI.
Thanks everyone who donated, contributed to the raffles, and were there to celebrate the club's 5th birthday. Just like these two, Alex and Keith, who have been there since those early days of TQCC.
It's back. The pre-Christmas cycling favourite – TQCC's Santa Cycle.
