Club rides

 

Wednesdays

All group classifications (details below) catered for, to offer either a social ride or training options (inters, inters+ and fast), with all groups reuniting for the consumption of malt, hop or grape based recovery drinks in a local hostelry.

British Summer Time

Social | 25-30 miles / 40-50km local loops. This is a no-drop ride and a great opportunity for new members to join.
Inters | 32-40 miles / 52-65km, no-drop ride for building fitness and developing group riding skills.
Inters+ | 32-50 miles / 52-80km, pacy paceline.
Fasts | 32-70 miles / 52-112 km, high intensity training suitable for racers or those who just like to give it the beans.

Winter

Outside of BST, we hibernate to the safety and serenity of Richmond Park, where the closed roads are perfect for enhancing group riding skills. Rides depart 6.45pm.

Sundays

No-drop spins venturing south to the scenic climbs of the Surrey Hills, or west on mostly flat roads to the Windsor area. This ride provides the perfect starting point for those looking to expand and improve their cycling.

There are usually three sets of groups (social, inters & inters+), all lead by an experienced ride leader.

Rides depart from Kingston at 9.15am.

 

In addition to the staple club rides on Wednesdays and Sundays, members arrange rides on other days via our private forum.

If you are new to group riding we suggest you check out our preparing for rides page which contains useful advice for you when joining club rides.

Chevaliers Cycling Club Social Plus Rides

Well drilled paceline, with each rider sharing the work, at a solid, but not “race” pace.

Chevaliers Cycling Club Gravel Rides

Gravel

We love cycling on roads, but our relentless quest for adventure means we can’t resist the rough stuff! Local offroad rides are arranged weekly, in addition to not so local ad hoc bikepacking trips.

Development rides

Like what you see, but feel you might not quite be ready to ride with a club? Why not sign up for our development rides?
