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 continue every Thursday evening. Signing on for the events on 10th and 17th May is at  19:00 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.

Outings to see elite races

Seeking interest

Mark has suggested that some of us might get together to go and see some elite races (and take in some refreshment as well). Events in the relatively near future that he has identified include the Rutland CiCLE Classic, the Peterborough edition of the city centre Tour series of criteriums, and the London Smithfield Nocturne. He is looking to gauge interest, and has started a topic in the forum here, so please log in to the forum and give him your feedback.

125th Anniversary

St Neots Cycling Club celebrates 125 years

St Neots Cycling Club is one of the oldest in Britain.  We were founded in 1887 and have continued, with a short break for the First World War, ever since. Interestingly, we were founded in the same year as Raleigh, the famous British cycle manufacturer, also celebrating their 125th anniversary this year. The club is organising a sportive to mark our 125th year.  A more detailed club history is coming soon.

Anniversary Sportive

Autumn Breeze Sportive

On 7th October 2012, St Neots Cycling Club is running a 125km sportive to celebrate our 125th anniversary. The route goes through some of the best parts of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire.  With just over 2000 feet of climbing, the route will present a reasonable challenge but be accessible to all and perfect for an enjoyable end to the season.  Click here for more information.

Chain gang every week

Tuesday evenings

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.

Sunday Club Runs

Every Sunday at 8:30

Our club runs continue through the winter and into the spring. 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 usually 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.
