"I thought of that while riding my bike" – Alfred Einstein (on the theory of relativity)

"I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again." - Michelle Pfeiffer

"The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community."  -
Ann Strong, Minneapolis Tribune, 1895

"Bicycles are almost as good as guitars for meeting girls" - Bob Weir, 'The Grateful Dead'

 

 

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 and Enfield.

 

If all this sounds like your kind of thing then why not join us.  Thanks to support from Enfield Leisure Centres Trust, membership is currently free!  

 

You can also subscribe to our Email List and get sent reminders of rides and events by email, as well as last minute information.

* New on the website - We now have a zoomable and printable map showing all the usual ride start points, tea stops etc. You can view in map or satellite image form to get a clear indication of where the place is and also get directions to and from that point. You can still, of course, click on the map links on the 'diary' and 'meetings' pages.
