THE RWGPS CHALLENGE FESTIVE 500 CLUB IS HERE
WEST LONDON CYCLING FREE RIDES ARE OPEN TO WEST LONDON CYCLING MEMBERS (SUBSCRIBERS). BOTH MEMBERSHIP AND THE SUNDAY RIDES ARE FREE OF CHARGE.
We meet at HILLINGDON STATION (UB10 9NR) …. you can arrive by road or train, easy access in and out by bike on a safe junction, shelter if it is raining whilst you wait for the other riders and a pub with a beer garden for summer finishes!
As well as our Christmas Specials, we meet EVERY SUNDAY 9am starting at Hillingdon Station (Hillingdon Circus / Master Brewer / A40 / Long Lane / UB10 9NR)
We split into different speed groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding, so it’s flexible and tailored to riders’ needs. The slowest group will generally wait for the slowest rider (or split into sub groups) but you should be able to manage 30kph on flat stretches with an average speed of around 22kph over the distance. Faster groups will be more speedy of course.
GROUP RIDING: If you are new to club riding, West London Cycling is a great club to get into it with. Before you start, why not learn a few of cycling’s protocols and etiquettes? It’ll help you slot in and feel at home from the get-go!
