South Hertfordshire Cyclists' Touring Club

Our cycle rides usually start in St Albans, Hatfield or Hertford. All starting points are near to train stations and parking facilities. This means we have a mix of local residents and people from north London. We are part of the CTC - the national organisation for cyclists – and one of four groups cycling in Hertfordshire.

What do we do?

We are a leisure cycling club with weekly rides on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. Shorter/easier rides are now being run on Saturday afternoons.

Sunday rides normally have a morning coffee break, lunch stop and a tea break in the afternoon (summertime only). Some people cycle back from coffee or lunch, others stay out all day. As our weekend ride reports show, a Sunday ride to coffee and back could be 30 miles. In the summer months a full Sunday ride could be over 60 miles. In the winter, rides are shorter (about 40 miles) as we have our lunch stop nearer to the start so we can usually get back before it gets dark.

Saturday afternoon rides are no more than 20 miles and go at a speed that suits everyone.

Our popular midweek rides start from St Albans on Wednesday evenings and aim for an energetic 90 minute ride to a local pub.

We also run 5 Miles to Fabulous rides especially for women and have occasional car-assisted rides, weekends away and longer tours.
