Join Our Friendly Group Cycle Rides in London

Whether you are looking to explore quiet country lanes, build your fitness, or simply enjoy a weekend spin with great company, London Clarion Cycle Club hosts regular group rides for a variety of abilities. We are proudly inclusive, strictly "no-drop," and always prioritise the social side of cycling.

​

From scenic routes out to the Surrey Hills and the Essex countryside to relaxed urban loops, our rides are the perfect way to explore beyond the city limits.

What to Expect on a Clarion Ride

• No-Drop Policy: We leave together and we finish together. 

• Pace and Distance: We clearly label all our rides by distance and expected average speed on our calendar, so you can choose the ride that perfectly matches your comfort zone.

• The Golden Rule — Cafe Stops: A Clarion ride is not a race; it’s a social event. Almost every ride we organise includes a planned stop for coffee, cake, and a chat.

• Led by Experienced Riders: Our routes are planned and led by experienced club members who know the safest, most enjoyable roads in and around London.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of bike do I need? A well-maintained road bike, gravel bike, or hybrid is ideal for most of our routes. E-bikes are also entirely welcome! Just ensure your bike is in good working order and remember to bring a spare inner tube, a pump, and water.

 

Where do your rides start? Because our members are based all over the city, our meeting points vary. Popular starting points include central train stations, local parks, and popular cafes. Check the specific details of each ride on the calendar for the exact meeting location.
