We offer regular free training rides on the 1st Sunday of each month from Radlett.
Meet 09.00 at Newberrie Car Park (behind Budgens), Watling Street, Radlett, WD7 7JH

Departure time is usually 09.30. This is an enjoyable ride through the leafy lanes of Hertfordshire and back to the car park by 12.30-13.00. Subject to numbers and leader availability we sometimes offer a faster ride alongside the steady ride.

We also occasionally plan longer day rides of between 50-60miles. Please keep an eye on the site for details as they are published, or join the NCC Whatsapp group here or message Howard on 07973 271691.

Please note there is no vehicle or mechanical support but there is always a ride leader and back marker.

Norwood Cycle Club Rules
Your safety is our priority. Below are our club rules:

• Wearing a cycling helmet when riding with the club is mandatory. All riders must carry a spare inner tube and sufficient water.
• At all times abide by the highway code.
• The use of  mobile phones while riding is not allowed
• Bikes must be deemed to be road worthy. This means working brakes, gears and tyres inflated to the correct pressure.
• Sensible fitness.  All riders need to be able to ride for at least 3 hours in the saddle and be able to cover 30 miles.  If you have not ridden for a few months or more this ride may not be suitable depending on your level of  fitness.

Ride Registration /Disclaimer for first time rider
If you have not ridden with us before, we will ask you to complete and sign a registration/disclaimer form.

We strongly urge any rider to have 3^rd party insurance to guard against claims made by others for any accidental damage caused by you or your cycle, and also think about insurance against theft and accidental damage.
