Love being on two wheels. Tried most disciplines of cycling over the years. Aiming on keeping able to ride in mountains.

    Well done those that braved the rain today. You have certainly earned your spurs, so to speak. Hope to see the rest of you at the next Group Skills / Intro Ride in 2024.

    Hi Alfonso, links to mid-week rides below, in case you are struggling to find the pages:

    Wednesday rides
    Thursday rides

    Regents Park laps: meet at the zoo entrance. Sunday club rides: Highbury Fields.

    It's worth noting that evening rides tend to 'sweep' people up. The key joining places are below. Details get worked out on the relevant forum page each week.
    HF- Highbury Fields
    WP - Whittington Park
    ToS - Top of Swains Lane
    THC - Tally Ho Corner

    Hello all - very much looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at Highbury Crescent. The weather should be kind - no rain is forecast at the moment! Please do remember however to bring some food, water and... puncture repair equipment. G

    If you have booked onto the Intro Ride on Saturday 30th September please confirm that you can attend by copying this entire message and adding your name to the list. (If you remove the @ from your name you won't be messaged each time someone new adds their name).

    If you are no longer able to make it, please remove yourself by clicking "Can't Make It" at the top of this page. This means others have a chance to take your place and we don’t have to organise more ride leaders than we need.

    This ride is only open to people who have booked by clicking "Yes I'm Attending at the top of page 1. If you haven't booked but would like to join this ride you should check this page regularly to see if places come free.

    Hi Dan - the Club Membership Sec will process your membership and get back to you with details and next steps etc - may take a week or so. In the meantime (before you have access to the whole forum) you can turn up to Sunday mornings at 8.30am at Highbury Fields and join a ride, or one of the evening rides/morning laps etc (https://islington.cc/weekly-schedule). This Sunday many people will be riding the Great Escape (https://islington.cc/tge2023) which you are welcome to join (!) so there may not be so many Sunday Club Rides running.

    Hi Spinner - I heard today that the first (ever) batch from our new manufacturer is expected mid-September.

    Hi. The only way to join the club is to do a Group Skills session or an Intro Ride. This is something everyone has to do, for various reasons including safety. It does get busy at certain times of the year I am afraid.

    Hi Marchetto, it can take a week or so for the admin process to work though after payment. Presumably you have done a Group Skills session or the Introduction to Club Cycling ride recently, as it's a while since you were a member. It's a great time of year to join as there is a lot going on.

    Hi Rafe - when did you join? Your membership processing can take up to a week. You can turn up to rides in the meantime.
