Clubs Local to Leatherhead

AdrianStuart

Hi,

I am a newbie to cycling, been going for 5 weeks now and now looking to join a club.

I am not unfit, I commute to work and do the longer ride on the weekend. Currently averaging around 16-17mph. Would this be good enough to join club runs?

I live on the borders of Leatherhead/Bookham. Can anyone recommend a good local club?

You could try http://www.charlottevillecc.org.uk/

Sunday rides 9am from Guildford Spectrum. There's a beginners ride first Sunday of the month, a long ride on the last Sunday and 40-55+ milers on ther Sundays. My solo rides average 16-17 mph so you should be fine.

I really think Cobham/Leatherhead area could do with its own club. Doesn't seem to be anything close by.

SWRC meet on Cobham.

Epsom CC has a reputation for being very friendly and well-run. There's Kingston Wheelers too, which is a little further from you. Speak to Brian Hill at Epsom CC - lovely chap. I'm not a member but see the guys around a lot.

Redhill CC is a very popular club - not all that far from L'head

I would have thought SWRC would be quite convenient as they meet on Downside Rd in Cobham.

I'm not a member, but I'm thinking of joining.

Does anyone know what its like? Friendly club? Quite chilled?

I'm up for the odd ride if that is interesting (leatherhead based) I mostly ride in the evening or early weekend mornings.

I'd normally be up for a ride this week, but I have an MTB enduro at the weekend, so am resting.

Dorking looks like the one for me. Will join them for a ride next Sunday. Got the QEF 60 mile sportive on Sunday
