Welcome to CCCP
A road cycling club dedicated to fun, inclusive and friendly group rides
Founded 18 years ago as the Competitive Cycling Club of Portland, CCCP has evolved over the years from a small racing club to a broader based road riding club for the Greater Portland community. CCCP now is the Community Cycling Club of Portland.
Our 4 weekly rides and special event weekend rides draw a wide range of riders, including, devoted recreational riders, racers, commuters, century-plus types, big Benefit Rides cyclists, 2O year olds, 60 year olds, triathletes, tourists, locals, members of the other 4 clubs in town, first time roadies to “been riding skinny tires my whole life”. Essentially, CCCP is a group of folks who are just hooked on biking and who seek out other enablers to feed their addiction!
CCCP is also committed to developing and expanding the sport of cycling. 20% of all members dues and corporate sponsorship goes towards our HEADCASES Program, which provides free helmets for area kids. We are members of The Bicycle Coalition of Maine and the League of American Bicyclists.
We’d love you to join CCCP, but regardless, we hope you will join us on one of our fun rides and sign our mailing list, both of which are open to all cyclists, member or not.
Ride on!

if you don't can you put me in touch with someone who can facilitate this type of group, or who would take on a few older newbees to this sport in Portland.
thanks

I have a 9 year old son who is interested in doing the Trek Across Maine next year. According to the American Lung Association rules, he would either need to be on a tag-a-long or a tandem. He is too tall for a tag-a-long and we don't know how to find a tandem. A friend of mine recommended I get in touch with local riding groups for help. I am 6'1" and my son in 5'3". I have done the Trek a few times but he has not. We have very little funds. Is there a place that rents tandems in the Greater Portland area or does anyone know where we can find a tandem that wouldn't be too heavy or too expensive? Thank you for any help you may have to give.
Sincerely,
Kate Savidge

Kate - Thats a tall order...a TAM-compatible tandem that wouldn't be too heavy or expensive? Thoughts that leap to mind include Craigslist (a stretch, but anything is possible) or buy a second hand tandem from one of the bike stores in Bar Harbor at the end of the rental season. We have gone that way before with our young one. They are mountain bike tandems, but for a little more $$$ if you were to put a pair of high-pressure road tires on it you could really scoot, and the super-low gearing would be very TAM/hill friendly. I believe that this is the cheapest way out. I don't recall when they are up for grabs; probably after Labor Day or Columbus day. They go on a first come-first served basis, and are sold in 'as is' condition. Best o' luck to you and the the stoker...sounds like a good time!

Hi Kris and Dana,
Did not know where to post this, but as you guys might know, I just started a competitive cycling club at Deering HS. I have appx 20 kids signed up, ages 14-18. We started spinning this week to get in shape and want to hit the roads in April.
Some of the kids have road bikes, some not. Back Bay is trying to work a good deal on entry level road bikes, but a lot of them can't afford one. We have a large population that lives in poverty and some have signed up.
What I am trying to line up for the kids who can't afford a bike, is to work with PVC, CCCP and whoever else will listen and try to line up some used road bikes. I know most folks that do club rides have 3,4 or 5 bikes, and I know they might be willing to donate one of their old ones to the school.
Can you post something to help us out, or make an announcement here and there? They don't need to be nice bikes, and we will take all sizes from 48cm to 58 cm. All they need are two wheels and a frame (brakes would be nice too).
Thanks folks!

Victoria inquired about a group for older folks. I am one of those and would be interested in joining. Also have a friend who would join us. We do some hills, but prefer easy rides.

Can you guys be a little more generous with the road when you're passing a bike commuter trying to get home?. I was almost pushed into a truck parked on the side of the road while you were all enjoying your Thursday night ride.

Kevin,
So sorry! Don't know the particulars of your incident but we definitely do not want to be making riding difficult for fellow riders. Thursdays can get pretty large, up to 50 riders, and fast so those towards back of pack don't always realize that there are 2 things to go around, the parked car AND a fellow cyclist, so they need to allow for double the clearance. I will point this out to the club riders so that they are more aware.
Thanks for your input.
Kris

Following my analysis, thousands of persons all over the world receive the credit loans at good creditors. Therefore, there is great possibilities to receive a consolidation loan in every country.

Houses and cars are expensive and not everyone is able to buy it. Nevertheless, home loans are invented to help different people in such situations.

Hi everyone im in melbourne and just searching for clubs, I wanted to leave a message for Kate 2010. Kate I am also 6'2 and my son who is nine is just under 5'. I am at a loss as to why the boys around this age are excluded from rides, given that we have an obesity epidemic among our children I am surprised that they are not encouraged to exercise. I am unsure of your own sons ability but mine outrides me 10 to 1. Happy and safe riding portland folk, nice site, but a bit too far.
