Let’s Ride Together! The White Clay Bicycle Club offers a wide variety of year-round cycling experiences—road and off-road—fast and challenging, leisure and fun and anything in between, depending on which way the wind is blowing or how far folks want to go.
The club hosts 4 fully supported, organized rides throughout the year
In addition to our scheduled rides, our 4 major supported event rides draw hundreds of cyclists from near and far. Come for the ride. Ride for the challenge!
Icicle Metric
The WCBC Icicle may be your first chance to stretch your legs on a long ride after the cold winter months.
Doublecross Metric
The WCBC offers a ride that crosses and “doublecrosses” an entire state in 62 total miles over flat terrain.
Shorefire Century
Because of the flat, gently rolling terrain that the route follows, this is the perfect “First Century Ride“.
Savage Century
Many have enjoyed the challenge of the Savage as a “ride of passage.” Head for the hills and put your training to the test.

Whether you are at the Jersey Shore, Eastern Shore Beaches or coastlines elsewhere, check with the local bike shop or city ordinances on bike riding laws.
