Local cycling clubs:
Clapham Chasers The Chasers are based at Nuffield Health Gym (Battersea). They are a very social and friendly club who welcomes everyone of all abilities. With training runs, cycles & swims scheduled throughout the week, from interval sessions to long bike rides, they try to offer a diverse range of activities to progress towards your individual targets. Their Monday run is their flagship social run, generally with a large turnout and an ideal opportunity for you to meet a lot of their members. (Clapham Chasers members recieve 10% off parts, servicing and repairs at The London Cycle Workshop upon proof of membership).
