Evening,

I'm currently looking at joining a cycling club and could really do with some help finding the most flexible one. I live in SW London (Clapham), and currently work a very varied roster/shift pattern; unfortunately 70% of the time i work weekends which gets in the way of most sat/sun club rides....Are there any club runs/training rides which would suit a weekday rider??

Any advice/recommendations would be truely welcome

ps. sorry if this is in the wrong section.

    ???

    To be a little constructive
    1. CTC Cheam and Morden have regular Wednesday rides of various standards
    2. SWRC have midweek rides but there is no website info and I suspect it is rather irregular - hopefully one of their stalwarts will disabuse me of my impressions.
    3. the 40+plus group rides regularly according to their website

    My direct experience is limited to CTC C&M - I rode with them once about a month ago and enjoyed.

    If you have a regular availability you might try starting a thread dedicated to that specific day.

    There's a small group of Nigels that meet once a month in Surrey for a 3 hour road ride plus lunch. The date is chosen by the most popular day off in that month, we arrange via emails.

    Ride speed is 15-17 mph average, and an age range of 30 to 55 ish. There's usually 4 of 5 of us.

    I'm sure more would be welcome as long as you can put up with pilot speak and bike chat.

    Cheers
