Grab your mountain, cyclocross, or gravel bike and ride the Herne Hill trails! These sessions are designed to improve your fitness and bike handling skills through a session that prioritises time spent riding at a training effort, building your endurance and confidence riding off-road. This session is open to all abilities but some experience riding off-road is advised, get in touch if you're not sure.

What to bring:

  • Helmets and gloves are mandatory (both can be borrowed if needed).

  • Cycling-specific clothes aren’t essential. Just wear something comfortable, trainers or cycling shoes, layers that are appropriate for the weather, and nothing too loose.

We have showers, a cafe/bar and our Track League racing taking place on the track, so stick around afterwards!

Sessions will take place on the off-road trails behind the track. If you're late, you may need to find the group there. PLEASE NOTE: The bike sheds are locked before the group goes to the trails so if you are late and you need to hire a bike it may not be possible for you to join the session.
