Cycling for all
We welcome all adult cyclists to ride with us. If you're interesting in riding with a club and live in the Esher, Thames Ditton, Cobham or the wider Elmbridge area, get in touch.
We have groups that ride from 25miles on the flat to groups doing long rides into the Surrey Hills and beyond. We have faster groups and slow and social groups. The main thing is that everyone enjoys themselves.
Our ethos is to ensure we all enjoy cycling as a group. We are a group of friends cycling to get fitter and to have some fun - and everyone who joins us enjoys it.
