About our club

Velo 1860 is an established club based around Sheen and Sutton. It is open to anyone over 18 years of age who has an interest in cycling be it to race, to participate in sportives or just simply to cycle socially or with the aim to improve fitness. The club sets up training rides/club rides suitable for all abilities so, no matter what your experience, there will always be a ride for you.

The club has a strong relationship with Ciclista and all club members receive a 10% club discount on Drinks*, Coffee and Food (*Non-alcoholic drinks only) purchased in their stores.

The club organises two fixed club rides a month, as follows.

Windsor Ride

Held on the second Saturday of each month this is traditionally a ride from Kingston Bridge to Windsor. Club members meet at Kingston Bridge around 8:30am to do an 85km ride to Windsor and back generally with a stop for tea/coffee/cake in Windsor. This is a relatively flat and easy ride. The aim is to have people back in Kingston for around 12:30.

Surrey Hills Ride

The second is held on the last Sunday of each month and is generally a ride into the Surrey Hills. Again club members meet at Kingston Bridge at 8:30am with the aim to do around 90km ride. Needless to say this is a more challenging ride as it involves a few climbs depending on the route the planned.

Both club rides are open to all members whatever their cycling ability. If necessary, the group will be split into different sub-groups depending on the ability and speed of the riders who show up. No one is left behind and the aim is to bring club members together in a social ride that builds confidence and allows club members to gain experience in riding in a group and riding on the road. These are also good training sessions for those who want to enter their first sportives.

In addition to these fixed rides many more rides and social events are organised throughout the year.

Please feel free to contact us for any more details.
