It started with a map on a wall

We ran a cycling café in Mallorca — the Clubhouse — drew a map of the island on the wall, and put every route online for free. No guide fees. No strangers charging you to show you somewhere beautiful.

Some rides went out after dark, up to the lighthouse at Cap Formentor to watch the moon rise over the black sea. We've brought it home: full-moon laps through London's car-free parks.

We came back to be in the community, not watching the rides leave without us. The café's gone. The philosophy hasn't moved.

It started with amap on a wall

This started in Mallorca, in a café we built and ran ourselves — the Clubhouse. We drew a map of the island on the wall, pinned every climb worth the suffering, and put every route on the website for free. Come for a coffee, download the routes, and someone from the community rides with you. No guide fees. No strangers charging you to show you somewhere beautiful.

Some of those rides went out after dark — up to the lighthouse at Cap Formentor, to watch the moon rise over the black sea. We've brought it home: full-moon laps through London's parks, empty and car-free after dark.

We came back for one reason: to be in the community, not watching the rides leave without us. The café's gone. The philosophy hasn't moved.

How it works

  • The rides

    Sunday mornings from Putney Bridge, with the odd park lap after dark. All paces, no drop. Nobody gets left behind.

  • The guides

    Free route guides for London, Surrey and Mallorca, with more coming. Download them, ride them. Always free, no exceptions.

  • The Whatsapp

    Where the rides get organised and the friendships actually happen. Someone's always up for a ride.

Not a mailing list. Not a loyalty scheme. A real community - people who ride together and end up friends.

The bar is joining in,not speed

Do you take riding seriously? Then you're in — fast or not. Whether that means racing crits at the weekend or just refusing to skip a training session in February, either qualifies. The rider chasing a first century and the one who won't miss a Sunday are the same kind of rider to us.

And if you've ever worried you'd turn up and get dropped — don't. No drop, ever. Nobody gets left behind, whatever your pace. Everyone in the group was the nervous new face once, and the welcome is real. Come ride.

Two ways in.
