A London cycling club for ambitious riders.
About the club
We were built on road racing, and that heritage still shapes how we ride, train and share what we know. Most members join to get fitter and faster, and to have fun while they do it. Some go on to race, and when they do, the club backs them with kit and race support. Richmond Park is our spiritual home, and our members ride from all over London.

What we do

Club life
It is not all about the pedal power. Members meet at socials, skills talks, café stops and our annual awards night, and a lot of the learning happens on the road.
Join us
There are five routes in. Most new members start with a monthly Newcomer Ride in Richmond Park. Choose your route, and read how to join before you apply, as it answers most questions.
