Cycling UK - HELP TO GET MORE MEMBERS?

[wearwell]

I'm getting on a bit and just done my first Parkrun https://www.parkrun.org.uk/
They are brilliant at bringing in new members and encouraging running; basically by encouraging / inviting absolutely anybody who can propel themselves over 5km on their own legs. A very cheerful experience with lots of encouragement.
Worth looking at for cycling clubs perhaps? Nearest equivalent I can think of would be 50km Audaxes.

You are aiming too high, I suggest clubs run of say 20 to 30 miles at say 8 to 12 mph plus stops?

Perhaps it is time for a name change ?

I suggest that CYCLISTS TOURING CLUB has a nice ring to it.
