Whatever your age or level of fitness, it is never too late to start cycling. We have members from under 17 to over 70 and there’s something for everyone. We run many different rides to suit all ages, stages and levels of fitness, off-road and on-road. For absolute beginners we can also put you in touch with other forums who will be able to help you. And for kids, there is the Redhill Raiders, our own junior cycle squad which includes fortnightly coaching sessions.

Most of our on-road cycling takes place during weekend mornings (and Summer evenings!) on the trails, roads and lanes of southern Surrey, Kent and Sussex. RCC members also take part in Sportives around the UK and events around the world. 

Our off-road groups meet at weekends (and weekdays in the Spring & Summer) charging through woods and trails across Surrey and beyond. We organise sociable cycling trips all over the UK, warmly welcoming new riders into a huge range of events. 

Why Redhill CC?

You'll make good friends at Redhill CC. Cyclists are a friendly bunch, you’ll find our members very supportive and there is great camaraderie amongst like-minded people. The companionship of riding in a group make the miles travelled so much easier and more enjoyable. Cycling with a group also helps you to learn more bike skills and how to ride positively and safely. We can also help you cut through the jungle of conflicting advice on bikes and equipment. You don’t need to spend a fortune to get started. Good bikes and clothing are of a very high standard nowadays at reasonable prices and members often sell equipment on our website for a fraction of the original cost.

TURNING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please don't turn up on any of our rides 'on spec'. You should email us via the Committee/Contact Page first so we can find out more about your cycling experience and let you know what you'll need when you join us for the first time.  Do NOT turn up as a Newcomer without a helmet, you will be riding with a group and a ride leader who won't you or your abilities. 

What do I do next?

Get in touch and we’ll help you work out the best place to get started or what you might need to do to get ready for joining our rides. Many who have joined us in recent years will vouch for the support we offer. Often, people join because they have signed up for a big charity ride and realise they need to 'get the miles in' to do justice to it. Lots then end up realising just how much enjoyment riding a cycling club can bring.

For on-road riding: contact: Brian Costello, Road Events Secretary or Adrian Webb, Chairman.

For off-road riding: contact John Twitchen, MTB Secretary, or Gareth Ashton, MTB Events Secretary

You can do this via our 'CONTACT US' page.

How do I join?

To apply to join Redhill Cycling Club, you will need to request a membership application form and send this  to the general/membership secretary Frank Grainger with payment and all the necessary information.

Please note: You should have ridden with the club and 'tried out' on a suggested minimum of three rides to join. You should then have a ride leader or committee member who has ridden with you on one of these rides and is prepared to vouch for you. 

Once your membership has been accepted you will be able to register for full access to this website including the forums and comments pages.

If you wish to join as a purely social member (ie if you have ridden in the past but now hung your cleats up or perhaps have an injury that prevents you from riding or just wish to help out) then simply contact Frank Grainger for a chat via the Committee page.

SAFETY:

Your safety is of paramount importance when you ride with Redhill Cycling Club. We have a full annual risk assessment and safety guidelines for riders. Take responsibility for knowing what will be expected of you when riding with Redhill CC by reading our safety guides before you join us. We have a general risk assessment too covering the wider range of risks and risk factors that we've considered.
