Welcome
Welcome to the St Neots Cycling Club website. We are a friendly cycling club based in St Neots, serving the town and the villages around. We mainly focus on road cycling but some of our members also ride off-road. Why not join us for one of our Sunday club runs that explore the countryside around Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. In summer we organise a weekly time trial on an excellent sporting course near Abbotsley and Gamlingay and on Tuesday evenings in summer there is a regular chain gang for those planning to race or just get faster. We have frequent social evenings and outings. Whether you are an experienced roadie or new to cycling, do contact us or join one of our club runs - you’ll get a warm welcome.
Club Time Trials
Every Thursday evening
St Neots Cycling Club time trials start Thursday, April 25th. Signing on for the events is at 19:00 this week with racing commmencing at 19:15 hours. The course will be the Abbotsley 11.2mile circuit which starts at the road junction to Croxton about a mile East of Abbotsley village. This is a sporting course and will require the use of all your bike handling skills. The events form a series for which prizes will be awarded at the end of the season and the series competition is handicapped so you don't have to be superfast, just show improvement throughout the season.
92 Members and Counting
St Neots Cycling Club grows again in April. As at 30th April we have 92 members of which 34 are new members to the Club. This time last year we had 36 members in the Club and 75 by the end of the year - so almost as many new members in the first four months of this year as we had in the Club a year ago. A very warm to new members Nik, Andrew , Lewis and Chris who joined in April. Will we have a 100 members by the end of May ??
Introductory Rides
Continue through the summer
St Neots Cycling Club is introducing a monthly "taster" introductory ride for those who have never ridden in a group before or those who feel that the regular Sunday runs might be too far or too fast for them. The introductory rides will be held every first Sunday of the month leaving St Neots Market Square at 8:30 - the same time as our regular Sunday runs, so you'll be able to meet club members. The rides will be about 25 miles long at a slower speed of 13 - 15mph. See you there! Next ride will be Sunday 2nd June.
Chain gang every week
Tuesday Evenings
With the TT season beginnig this Thursday it has been decided to change the evening of the Chain Gang to a Tuesday with a start time of 6:30pm. The weekly chain gang has become a regular feature of St Neots Cycling Club. Aimed at riders looking to get fitter, it is faster than a club run but can be ridden by anyone fit enough to ride the Sunday club run. Great for fitness or for a taste of race pace. For more details click here. From Tuesday 23rd April , the chain gang will be on Tuesdays.
Members' Blogs
Three of our members have regular cycling related blogs. Check them out:
Richard Ostler (our chairman) blogs here.
Tom Stead, up and coming young rider, can be found here.
Alasdair Higgins, two hundred and something watts and Oxford student, is over here.
Sunday Club Runs
Every Sunday at 8:30
Our club runs continue through the winter. We leave from St Neots Market Square at 8:30 every Sunday morning with a faster group covering 50-60 miles and a steadier group covering about 40 miles sometimes with a café stop. You don’t have to be a member to sample our club runs and they are a great way to introduce club activities. Click here to find out more about our Sunday club runs.

A club run of two halves - 19th May 2013
Sunday weather was still and warm once the early morning chill had lifted. Twenty six riders turned up in the Market Square - with a few being away on holiday or competing in the St Neots Nicetri Sprint Triathlon, this was a good turn-out. It was a small Group 1, made even smaller by the defection of Wayne and David to Group 2 at the last minute.

Richard Hancock fastest
The 4th TT of the St Neots Cycling Club series for 2013 saw 27 riders at the start looking to test themselves on the challenging 11.2 mile sportive course at Abbotsley.
Unlike last week, the conditions were very favourable this evening allowing 11 PBs to be set and notable amongst these were Chris Ritchie getting under 28 minutes for the first time and Adrian Taverna breaking the 29 minute barrier. New member, Darren Preston, continues to impress, with all his times this year under 29 minutes.

On a night for only the brave, and some would say the foolhardy, 10 dedicated members of the Club were in attendance at the 3rd TT of the season. The wind was fierce and at 7pm we had hailstones to add to the already almost sub zero temperature. The wind was blowing bikes over if they were left upright against the time keeper's car and one rider was regretting the short sleeve jersey choice as he stood shivering at the start. Read more...
