Back to the proper flat stuff next week and an old favourite, the Greater London Flat. We’ll be riding three laps for 40.5km/135m.
An express 45-minute Pilates session led by Adele Smyth. The class is focussed on the cyclist, however if you have no experience that is absolutely fine as the class will be tailored to everyone’s needs.

Join fellow members for a weekend in the Peak District. Fit some low gears and get ready for some of the most iconic and challenging climbs that the Peak District has to offer! Staying at a multi-award-winning pub-hotel in the hamlet of Whitehough, you’ll be nestled in the heart of the hills you’ll be tackling on your bike. On Saturday you’ll get a full dose of Northern Grit riding and then, on Sunday, you can get a few more metres in your legs and cheer on the UK’s best climbers at the National Hill Climb Champs.
Put the date in your diary, make sure your pain cave is set-up and ready and sign-up for the inaugural Hotchillee e-Racing Club Championships. Our friends at Southborough and District Wheelers have secured a private event on Zwift with the help of James Bailey from HERD and have kindly invited us to piggy back it. The course is two laps of the Richmond UCI World's route (33km / 318m) which opens it up to climbers, sprinters and rouleurs.

Glen is usually behind the scenes making sure that the Hotchillee Ride Captains and event participants have fully functioning bicycles to ride but he occasionally makes an appearance in front of the camera to share his wisdom. If he’s not fixing or building bikes he’ll be out riding in #SweetSussex. If you want to know anything about Cyclocross, Glen is the man to ask.
