We are a South London cycling club who welcome anyone who wants to improve fitness or achieve their ambitions – whether that is to complete your first sportive or L’Etape du Tour, or to just enjoy the pleasure of a regular weekend ride.

Who Are We?

We are a friendly bunch of cyclists at all levels of ability with around 70 active members. We pride ourselves on being a very inclusive club. We are keen to welcome newcomers of all ages and abilities (though we require under 16s to be accompanied by a parent or guardian).

If you are thinking about joining us, you are very welcome to come along on a Saturday morning to try us out for 2 or 3 rides before you commit to being a paid up member. For further details of our rides see the Join and Club Rides pages.

Some members compete regularly in sportives and time-trials and have specific training goals, while others simply come along to ride in good company and maintain their fitness. We can support you at every level.

There are social events throughout the year and some club members take part in Maurice Burton’s annual training camp in Lanzarote.

Reviews

I have been a member for 3 -4 years and it’s very friendly group. Great routes through Kent, Surrey and beyond with experienced ride leaders. I was made very welcome. Riders with various riding speeds catered for in different groups across the team with no drops and usually a social pint or two at the end of very enjoyable rides.

Jonathan

Super friendly and inclusive club, great routes for all levels

Katy

Love this club. Very welcoming to me as a newcomer, and even an existent member. I don’t ride with them as often as I should, but always a friendly group whatever level you’re at.
Thoroughly recommend joining no matter what your cycling ambitions.

James

A fantastic and truly diverse cycling club in London. It was founded by Maurice Burton (former British Champion, owner of De Ver Cycles and former chairman of the cycling club). The main mission is to encourage all cyclists from every colour, ethnicity, abilities, age, gender and background to ride their bikes, on club rides, charity ride events, sportive rides here and abroad.
A great friendships and camaraderie among members.

Great way to meet people and share in the fantastic sport of cycling. Joined the club last year (2025) and have felt incredibly welcome. Come along for a guest ride, you might just find a brilliant way to spend your Saturday mornings for the next 50 years!

Enda

Such a friendly and welcoming cycling club. Joining experienced riders on a Saturday morning for a planned route makes it easy to get out to the bike. A well earned pint at the end with great company isn’t too shabby either.
