Saysell/Evans win AGAIN
Home
Welcome to the North Road Cycling Club. We are very proud to be one of the oldest cycling clubs in the country, founded in 1885 to 'promote fast and long distance cycling on the Great North and other Roads.' Nowadays we organise activities for cyclists of all abilities in Hertford and the surrounding area.
So whether you're new to cycling, or wanting to ride with a group, or looking to get into time trialling, cyclocross, or racing, come along and enjoy the ride!
Club clothing
Our club kit is manufactured by Kalas and is available in their Active, Elite and Pro ranges, guaranteed to make you go faster!

The Fellowship of North London Cyclists Presentation to Chris Symonds
Chris Symonds was invited to the Fellowship lunch to receive his award for his ride in the Chronos 10 mile timetrial on 27th July 2024. This was a nominated event, in which veteran riders from member clubs would be eligible to win the Fellowship Trophy and hold it for a year. Chris recorded a time of 22m 39s, which was the fastest of the eligible riders.
Taking up or returning to cycling?
Join us on a Sunday social club run to a cycle-friendly cafe and back
We meet from 9:20am on Sunday mornings at Highway Cycles, Hartham Lane, Hertford SG14 1QN, where there is a coffee kiosk for a pre-ride caffeine boost. Rides get underway from 9.40am. Rides are typically between 25 to 40 miles with a stop for coffee and cake roughly half-way.
Groups will be kept small, let by an experienced rider, and no one will be left behind.
There's more info in our Club Runs page and the upcoming schedule is on the Calendar page.
If you've not ridden in a group before, start off at the back so that you can see how it is done and gain confidence, and read our guide to group riding.
