Club Runs – The Club’s main weekly event is the Saturday morning club run, which sees as many as 120 riders meet at Coulsdon South Station at 9:00 for a 50-mile fixed loop into the beautiful Surrey and Sussex countryside.

Groups range from a chaingang-style training ride for the Club’s many active racers, down to a more leisurely-paced 15mph average speed. There is also an ‘Alternative Club Run’ group that rides 50 to 60 miles to a different location each week.
We also offer a Sunday club run in the summer months – using a different route each week.
Members also frequently organise ad hoc group rides through the club’s active Facebook page.
Racing – As well as British Cycling, Addiscombe CC is affiliated to the renowned Surrey Cycle Racing League, Crystal Palace Crits and Cycling Time Trials. These provide numerous opportunities for members to compete in some of the UK’s most fiercely competitive bunch races or to ride solo against the clock.
Addiscombe typically fields strong teams in all major competitions in London and the South East regions, and fledgling racers are mentored and encouraged via progression through the club’s many group rides.
Virtual Rides – We have an ever growing group participating in virtual club rides on the Zwift platform.
We organise both Virtual Club Runs and a Virtual Time Trial competition that both run through the darker, colder days of winter.
Numerous other events also take place throughout the year, from track sessions at Lee Valley Velopark, summer Club Runs to Brighton, as well as ad-hoc MTB and gravel rides.
Fundamentally, though, Addiscombe CC remains a friendly and welcoming environment in which any cyclist – regardless of age or ability – can become a fitter, faster and stronger rider.
