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!

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.

NRCC Memorial 25 2023
Sat 13 May 2023
Fifteen North Road entrants, fast times and intense competition on a day of a cold wind and clouds.
Last year's winners did it again: Rob Walker (WardPerformanceUK) smashed his own course record and Lauren Creamer came in only just outside the hour to take the Ladies prize.
Bryan Holland, on a road bike, was fastest North Roader in 1:05:03 with John Saysell, John McDowell and Brian Evans all close behind, while the hotly tipped Chris Symonds suffered a puncture after one lap.
