South London Cycling Group??

ok · Jan 29, 2005

Hi,
I'm finding it difficult finding the sort of cycling group I would
like to join. Perhaps someone knows of one?
All the ones I can find on line look very hard core and train very
early on Sunday mornings or appear to be rather competitive.
Other groups I see cycling round Richmond Park at a time I consider
reasonable appear to be active retired groups. Is there anything in
the Putney/Richmond/Wimbledon for people who are reasonably fit who
between 25-40ish age group and would like to go out at a reasonable
time?

Otherwise if anyone would like to join me drop me an email.

as some one that cycles on a sunday the only advice i can give you is don't
let the time put you off, as early is the only option at this time of the
year.

Try defining 'reasonable time'. For me a 7.30am start on a saturday and back
in time for an early lunch would be entirely reasonable. 10am start
returning mid afternoon would not be. Others mileage will vary
considerably..

Yeah but then I'd have to give up my nights out.

Why is it the only option? Personally, I'd much rather start at 11am
rather than the 7.30 - 9 that many clubs start at.

Sounds like there's a gap in the market so to speak which is a shame.
If anyone wants to cycle at a reasonable time at weekends starting from
Wimbledon drop me an email.
[email protected]

Otherwise let me know of any non family groups that start around 11-12
in SW London.

my club starts at 09.30hrs, but they normaly start at 10.30hrs. when cycling
around 40-50 miles with stops for lunch and waiting for people being late
and people like me catching up during the ride, the earlier the start the
better.

Go to the LCC website - http://www.lcc.org.uk/ and look in your borough.
There are lots of cycling groups in South London.

No mention anywhere on this website about cycling groups, or am I
missing something?

I appear to be missing it too. I cannot find any Richmond rides. I have
emailed them. Thanks for the link anyhow. Merton CC only do family
rides which I have no interest in and that just leaves Kingston which
is a bit of a trek.
