 We are a part of Cycling UK (the CTC) - the cyclists' champion. For 138 years we have championed a simple belief – that cycling is a wonderful gift that should remain accessible and available to all. Rides usually start in St Albans, Hatfield or Hertford. All starting points are near train stations and parking facilities and we have a mix of local residents and people from north London.
What do we do?
We are a non-competitive cycling club with weekly rides on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. Shorter/easier rides are run on some Saturday mornings. Sunday rides have a morning coffee break, lunch stop and (summertime only) a tea break in the afternoon. For a shorter ride, some people cycle back from coffee or lunch most Sundays; 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) and the lunch stop nearer to the start so we can often get back before dark. Our popular midweek rides start from St Albans on Wednesday evenings and aim for an energetic 90 minute ride to a local pub. For your first ride try a Saturday Saunter morning ride as these are no more than 20 miles and go at a speed that suits everyone. Or, if you can average 12 mph, start with a Sunday ride to elevenses and back. We also run 5 Miles to Fabulous rides especially for women and have occasional car-assisted rides, weekends away and longer tours . Next rides and events | Ride Reports
