The Worlds biggest club ride  
Your Stories from Around the World

On the longest day of the year, riders across the globe clipped in and rolled out for the LC__CC’s largest ever Global Ride Out – a day dedicated to the spirit of community, and the joy of riding together, wherever you are in the world.


To celebrate Members Month, we asked our community to share their stories, and you delivered. From local loops to big days spent in the saddle, every KM counts toward a collective achievement. 


We’ve picked a few standout stories that captured the energy of the ride out,  moments that inspired us and reminded us why we ride.

Kent Edward – New Jersey to Philadelphia (and back) – 200+ Miles

A casual ride to Philly and back, the crew said yes,  all 200+ miles of it! What followed was a full-gas, full-day epic that pushed the limits.


“It wouldn’t have been possible, or even close to fun without such a supportive and inspiring group of friends.”


Exhausted, and a little sunbaked, they rolled back home with sore legs and big smiles. An unforgettable day made possible by community, grit, and a little madness.

Anwen Rees – A 214 mile family adventure

When their dad came up with the idea to ride from his current home to the place he grew up, with some encouragement, the plan was set in motion.


What followed was a 214-mile, 14-hour ride powered by four Le Col jerseys, one support vehicle, one dog, six food-fuelled stops, and a whole lot of determination.


“That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, my previous longest ride was London to Brighton! I’m not quite sure how I managed it.”


“Falling off at mile 120 meant I cycled the remaining 90 miles with one brake and half my gears… and the last 30 miles were just pure pain.”


Despite the setbacks, they pushed through with help from their cousin for the final stretch and an all-star support crew. A ride full of meaning and memories.

Ian Cruise – Cafe hopping - 100 miles

 A 100-mile loop fuelled by café stops, sunshine, and a proper Scottish downpour. Ian’s route was designed for flexibility, with riders jumping in and out and bonus stops added on the fly. From Whitelee’s sunny views to detours around freshly dressed roads, it was a day that delivered a bit of everything.


“The route was intentionally planned to hit some familiar spots and be accessible for people to drop off and jump on.”


“We were certainly well fuelled and caffeinated.”


A Garmin mishap meant a few miles weren’t tracked, but the legs still felt them. And with a tailwind home, Ian made it back just in time.

The Reformed Runner

Running was my thing. Since my teens, it’s how I stayed fit, focused, and free. But years of pounding pavement took their toll. After multiple injuries and finally surgery on my Achilles, I had to admit my body was done with running. That’s when I got back on the bike, and everything changed. At first it was just to stay active, but I found something I didn’t know I was missing: adventure, flow, freedom. I gravitated toward gravel, joined a local club, and now ride all kinds of terrain. The best part? I’ve watched myself get better every year. I used to call myself a runner who cycles. Now, I’m proud to say I’m a cyclist too.

The Crash Survivor

I used to take riding for granted, until it was taken from me. In 2020, I was hit by a car and spent months off the bike. Recovery was long and slow, but the hardest part wasn’t physical, it was mental. Losing the freedom to ride felt like losing part of myself. But I made a promise: if I could come back, I’d never ride just for the numbers again. Now, every time I clip in, it means something. It’s not about pace or power. It’s about presence. The feel of wind on skin. The silence between pedal strokes. The reminder that I’m still here, still moving forward.

The Diabetic Rider

Living with Type 1 diabetes means every day is a balancing act, and cycling is the thing that helps me stay upright. It’s my way of taking control. Of proving that my condition doesn’t define me. Managing blood sugar while riding isn’t easy, but I’ve learned how to listen to my body in ways I never did before. I ride to stay healthy, but also to show others what’s possible. Every climb is a reminder that I’m stronger than I thought, not just as a cyclist, but as a person.
