About Us

In the history books

Researched and produced by Club members; Mike Coulter and Roger Stevens, the book "Coming of Age" tells the story of Gravesend C.C. From its origin in 1923, through the war years to 1946. This is available £6 posted. Please Contact Us for detail.

 

The story unfolds through carefully curated anecdotes, historic records and photographs. It's a fascinating tale of the men and women who laid the foundations of the club we have today.

Although the outfits have updated, we like to think we ride together with the same purpose now, as the club did in the 1920s: For the joy of it.

FAQs

Am I fit enough to ride the club run?

If you are comfortable riding 30-40 miles solo at an average pace of 15mph, you will be fine.

You should bring enough food to sustain yourself on a 3 hour+ ride. As well as equipment to repair punctures and mechanicals. Groups will always help each other but don't rely on this.

You won't know until you try. If you are not sure, come to the start and we can help you.

How long is the club run?

Distances vary with shorter rides typically 30-40 miles in winter, increasing 50 and sometimes 60 miles in Summer.

This is always tailored to who comes on the day. Rides are typically 3 hours in duration.

It is always possible for smaller groups to branch off and head home earlier if they need to.

What happens if I can’t keep up?

No rider is abandoned and we will always try to ride smoothly as a group and within the capabilities of the riders in it!

We always regroup at the top of climbs and can find suitable turn off points.

Can you suggest any local routes?

Yes, the best place, is our strava page here

Do I need a Time Trial Bike to compete?

No, equipment levels vary and many riders use standard road bikes.

You do need a working front and rear light, along with a helmet to compete in Time Trial events.

Do you organise Cycling trips?

Yes and they are a highlight!

There is at least one trip every year. In the past few years we have been to; The Alps, Belgium, Isle of Wight, Yorkshire, Majorca.

We are supported by Gravesham Trophy Centre
