What we’re about
Wild Cycling is a cycling club based in Richmond and it would clearly help if you live within a 5 mile radius as many of our rides start here. We look to appeal to cyclists from 35-65 who love off-road rides in the counties around London or further. Our members are cyclists with the necessary ability, knowledge and skills to tackle technical off-road trails so you will need to be a competent cyclist to join us otherwise you risk injuring yourself. You will also need to have a decent level of fitness as most of our rides are between 30 to 50 miles or more. This is important as our rides will not be suitable for inexperienced riders who cannot keep up with the group.
What does wild cycling mean? It can be lots of things from short ambles through the countryside to off-the-grid bike adventures. For me wild cycling means using bridleways, trails and lanes to explore Britain's extraordinarily beautiful countryside. Rougher trails demand bikes with specific off-road capabilities such as gravel bikes, MTBs but generally speaking a hybrid bike with a wider tyre width will do. Unlike other cycling clubs we are happy to accommodate e-bikes.

Road bikes with skinny tyres will not cope so please bear this in mind before you apply to join.
CYCLING CAN BE DANGEROUS SO IF YOU JOIN OUR RIDES IT'S STRICTLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Mid-November is peak time for Autumn colour and Burnham Beeches is renowned for its spectacular display so do join us on this lovely cycle ride. We meet at Windsor & Eton Riverside Station at 10am from whence we pedal to Burnham Beeches for a refreshment break whilst admiring the glorious Autumn foliage. We then head to Taplow, through Burnham Beeches and cycle down Hedsor Hill to Bourne End crossing the Thames to Cookham. Then cycling through Maidenhead and Bray we cross the Thames once again to Dorney for the final three miles to Windsor to take the train home. We should be back at the station around 3.30pm. A £4 fee applies and is payable on the day.
