Harrow Adventure Cycle Club for Women

Harrow Adventure Cycle Club for Women offers a supportive environment for women in London looking to explore cycling further. Founded to address the under-representation of women in sports, this club provides a space to build confidence and skills on two wheels, regardless of experience level. It is about enjoying the ride and camaraderie.

The club's activities include local routes with varied terrain, Bikeability 'on-the-road' training (level 3), map reading, route planning, ride leading, roadside maintenance, and planning for longer rides. Members can suggest destinations and challenges, and instructors will plan suitable routes and training. Yoga and stretching sessions, trips to the velodrome, and visits to cycle races are also part of the programme. The club aims to equip members with the skills and confidence to plan and execute their own cycling adventures.

The club meets on alternate Saturdays, starting at 9.30am. The first meeting point is Harris and Hoole in Pinner. Sessions will include a talk or brief, followed by a group ride that gradually increases in length to two hours. The Adventure Club operates on a ‘drop-in’ basis, offering flexibility for busy schedules while also fostering a social opportunity for those who want to cycle safely with friends.

For women in Harrow who are confident riding a bicycle and want to cycle as part of a group, fancy a new challenge, or have felt unconfident or unsure of how to start adventuring on their bicycle, the Harrow Adventure Cycle Club for Women is the ideal place to start.
