WCC is an excellent club committed to the safety of its riders and the observance of vehicle law and what's being said on this thread is mostly ill-informed and flat out wrong. Though not a current member of the club I have ridden with them on numerous occasions and found the members to be helpful, considerate, great advocates of cycling and cycling safety and extremely supportive of the sport... It's' true that one of their sponsored rides has been discontinued.. it was discontinued as a sponsored ride because despite excellent safety briefings prior to the ride, on every occasion I rode, there were a handful of people who chose to blatantly disregard the rules of the road and routinely created hazards for themselves, other riders and the motorists we share the roads with... it was a good decision and although I am disappointed that the ride is gone, it was no one's fault but those cyclists who chose to break club rules and state traffic laws.
