Summer (April – September)
Weekends
Meeting in Crystal Palace from 08:30 for a 09:00 depart, our road rides are member-led, ranging from those suitable for those new to group riding through to those wanting to be back for lunch.
If you’re a busy parent, need to get back early, or simply can’t wait to hit the road, we also have regular early rides starting at 7:30.
The Sunday club run is the heart of Brixton Cycles Club, whether a social loop out to a favourite cafe (we have a few!) out in Kent or Surrey, or a longer run to the seaside.
We ride at the pace of the slowest rider and regroup at the top of hills and junctions, and there is a cafe stop around the halfway point for a rest, chat and, best of all, refreshments!
We sometimes go out on Saturdays too, but these are more ad-hoc, just let us know when you get in touch if this is something that would interest you.
Weekdays
Tuesdays AM : Regents Park Laps
Clockwise chat laps at a social pace for 45m – 1hr, with coffee afterwards.
Wednesdays PM : Hills
A BCC classic, taking in all the sights of South London: hills at your own pace, post-ride refreshments at Herne Hill Velodrome or a local pub.
Thursdays PM : Summer Paceline or Lanes
Paceline is a quicker and tighter group ride than the Sunday club run - something for those who want to test their mettle/survival instinct. Post-ride refreshments in South London.
We also organise ad-hoc evening lanes rides to make the most of the longer days. The pace is dependent on the group, but they can range from chilled to faster!
Winter (October – March)
Weekends
As Summer, but colder. The club run is the cornerstone of the club, but sadly possibly fewer trips to the sea, meaning more time at the pub!
Weekdays
Tuesdays PM : Hills
A BCC classic, taking in all the sights of South London: hills at your own pace, post-ride refreshments at a local pub.
Wednesdays AM : Regents Park Laps
Clockwise chat laps at a social pace for 45m – 1hr, with coffee afterwards.
Thursdays PM : Paceline at Herne Hill Velodrome
Our winter training session on road bikes at the velodrome, range of speeds catered for, post-ride refreshments at the pub.
