Velociposse is a cycling club based in London. We ride, race and hold skills sessions.
Our aim is to get more women and non-binary people into cycling, with inspiration, support and knowledge.
Our members are spread out all across London, and even into Essex. This is unusual, as most cycling clubs are based on people starting rides from their local area. We were founded in East London and still hold lots of our sessions there, but we now have activities across the city. Velociposse is registered in the British Cycling Eastern Region.
We hold training sessions in East London (usually near or in the Lee Valley Velopark) or in South London (at Herne Hill Velodrome). We have road rides that go out of London, alternating from starting points in East and South London, off-road rides in Epping Forest, and we also do relaxed ‘chat laps’ sessions at Regent’s Park and Richmond Park.
RIDING AND RACING
As a small club with members spread out across the city, it has taken us some time to be able to offer regular organised rides, but as of 2021 we can offer several options!
We hold monthly Regent’s Park and Richmond Park intro sessions, which is open to all women and non-binary people (not just members) with any kind of cycle to come along and learn the basics of group riding at a relaxed pace. Several members prefer off-road riding and take part in a weekly gravel ride into Epping forest on a weekday evening in the summer. Members also arrange many ad-hoc rides via our club group chat. (If you’re looking for more regular led rides, we recommend checking out Breeze rides, Rapha women’s rides or our friends at Dirty Wknd.)
We take part in amateur (and sometimes not-so-amateur) racing: road races, road crits, track races, fixed crits and time-trials. Some of us do cyclocross, audaxes and ultra-cycling.
TRAINING SESSIONS
Our weekly skills sessions are traffic-free, and designed to improve your bike handling, cornering and coordination. No point going fast without the control! They’re run by some of our club members who are qualified British Cycling coaches. No pressure, lots of fun. These are a great option as a taster session to find out if the club is the right vibe for you.
