Welcome to Central London CTC
We organise all-day cycle rides for all abilities in the countryside around London.
Beginners' rides – medium paced rides – off-road rides – really fast rides (and the occasional walk too).
See essentials for more, or go straight to this month's rides to see what's on offer.
We are the Central London local group of the Cyclists' Touring Club, Britain's national cycling organisation, but non-members of the CTC are welcome to come along and try our rides.
