Edmonton Cycle Club is a leisure cycling
club. We're based in Enfield in North London, England.
While other clubs may concentrate on
covering huge distances on-road, or negotiating mountainous terrain on
MTB's, we are more into the sociable side of cycling.
A ride with us tends to be mainly on
towpaths, quiet country lanes and backstreets. Sometimes we head out
into the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside, while other rides may take
us in towards London to discover a secret oasis of calm within the
city.
Our regular rides are split into two grades: Easier rides under 20 miles (suitable for families and
less experienced riders) and longer, more challenging rides
for the more experienced.
And sometimes we go for weekends away,
in the UK or abroad.
There's normally one or two rides every
month (more in the summer, less in the winter) mostly on Sundays.
Most rides start at 10am, we generally stop for lunch at a pub or cafe and arrive
back home between 4pm and 6pm. Check the
diary on this website
for details.
We also hold informal meetings in a pub
every month. Currently, we are alternating between venues in
Edmonton, Winchmore Hill and Enfield.
If all this sounds like your kind of thing
then why not join us. Membership is free!
