Coached and club-led cycling
The club does not currently offer any coached or club-led cycling. Members organise their own open road and off-road cycling.
Member-organised informal cycling
Members sometimes organise their own informal rides. These are not club runs subject to club oversight or public liability insurance. The number of groups and speed/distance depends on how many turn up and how many leaders we have, but we aim to have at least one group, sometimes two.
For information on forthcoming member-organised informal cycling, please join the club’s WhatsApp Community group or speak to another member. If you have any questions, contact the Membership representatives.

Fast 27-30 km/h on the flats

Weekend informal rides
80-100 km ‘fast’ group meets at 08:30 on Saturdays at Starbucks Coffee opposite Wimbledon train station. If the pace is too fast you are expected to let the group know and find your own way home. Distances may be longer in the summer.
50-80 km ‘steady & medium’ groups meet at 08:30 on Sundays at Starbucks Coffee opposite Wimbledon train station. The steady & medium groups stay together for the whole ride.
Wednesdays 7:00 am: in the summer months we sometimes do a Wednesday early morning Windmilers mid-week ride. All levels are welcome. Meeting at Pen Ponds Car Park, Richmond Park. Ride for about 90 minutes. Can cut short earlier.
Gravel rides: from time to time there are also groups that do gravel rides.
