Southgate Cycling Club

Club rides are on a Sunday and are geared to the slowest rider. We are always pleased to see anyone new who might care to join us.

We meet at the Market Square in Enfield Town

The market square is located adjacent to Barclays Bank, opposite Pearsons Department Store.

at 09:00 in summertime and 09:30 in Winter - occasionally some rides start at earier or later times, or even at a different location, it all depends on the event* held that week - so please check the start time and location each week on our Club Runs list.
[ * special events include: car assisted rides, time trial and hill climb, Audax Randonees and Sportives, weekend trips ]

The rides take us through the breathtaking countryside and picturesque towns and villages of Hertfordshire and Essex.
Regular stops are made along the route: a café for elevenses (morning stop), lunch is often in a pub or a tea room and on longer rides, an additional stop for afternoon refreshment is often made, invariably at the café of a garden centre.
In summertime we take advantage of the longer daylight hours and venture a little further into Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

Distances covered vary with the time of year. We typically ride 60 - 80 miles in summer, whereas in winter we ride a shorter route of 40 - 50 miles, as it gets dark earlier.
Don't worry if the distances seem daunting, there is usually someone returning to Enfield after morning stop; they will be pleased to accompany you back to Enfield.
