Saturday and Sunday bike...currently under transition. Details to follow. Look at Forum for rides, and please share your ride plans with others. Please ignore details below for now.

We meet outside Fitness First gym on St John's Hill, by Clapham Junction station at 9.00am. We leave at 9am prompt, please be on time as we cannot wait. If you are new to the bike session please make yourself known to the group leader. There are usually two groups - intermediate and fast with a leader for each group. We ride two routes and alternate every week between Windsor (approx. 50 miles) and Surrey hills (approx. 65 miles).  The ride will be posted to the forum each week.  Please make sure you have a read of our Do’s and Dont’s before you come along.

Occasionally we will organise for everyone to do '3 timed laps' of Richmond Park, this is suitable for all abilities and a good opportunity for everyone to get together and measure improvement over the year.


Intermediate Group

The intermediate group take a more relaxed pace than the fast group however you should have a road bike and be comfortable with cycling at least 40 miles averaging around 16mph. To give you an idea you should be able to complete 1 lap of Richmond Park comfortably in less than 25 minutes. The intermediate group will often stop half way at a cafe for coffee and cake. If you are not sure of your ability please speak to one of the tri committee members or come along to one of the Richmond Park 3 laps sessions which are suitable for absolutely everyone and a good opportunity to meet people.

Fast Group

The fast group aim to average around 19mph and will sometimes do an extended version of the intermediate route each week however please note this is not always the case and if you get dropped from this group they will not wait for you. You should be confident and experienced at riding in a group at speed.

What to bring

Please turn up to the rides with everything you need - pump, spare inner tube, tyre levers, mobile phone and fluids. Over the winter ensure you have the appropriate clothing (e.g. gloves, gillets, waterproofs, overshoes) and ideally mudguards/SKS raceblades.

Before you attend these group rides please read our Do’s and Don’ts of group riding so you are better prepared for these rides, the Intermediate and Fast group should be well practised in using these skills and if you are new to them we may ask that you attend our beginner session to help you develop them.
