We are a friendly, local and diverse club of over 100 members who share a real enthusiasm for cycling. Rides are mainly on Saturday mornings, but we also have groups that meet mid-week and other ad-hoc times.
Club runs invariably include coffee, cake stops and fun.
On Saturdays, we meet in The Bear Hotel, Esher from 09:00am for a pre-ride coffee and chat, before leaving at 09:30am. Our rides take between 2-4 hours with five to seven groups of 3-8 riders and an experienced ride leader.
Our club has an elected committee comprised of a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. Currently these roles are held by Paul Airey, Mark Hobson and Claire Bailiss (respectively). We are also lucky to have support from a number of volunteers to help with new members, club kit, safety, social events, routes and our website.

Our Story
Dittons Velo was formed in 2012 by a group of members from the Dittons Skiff and Punting Club who were also keen cyclists and started riding together when the river was closed.
Subsequently, it has become a thriving club in Thames Ditton, Esher and the wider Surrey community, whose membership is purely interested in cycling. We are an affiliated British Cycling Club.
What we are all about
We are serious about making cycling fun and provide a supportive and inclusive club membership for riders to make new friendships on great rides. We help riders to improve their cycling skills and provide a range of workshops, alongside coaching sessions, so our riders can take on new challenges. Every year you will find our cycling groups taking part in UK sportive events, and in organised Club group trips on the roads and hills of Spain, France and Italy.
