ABOUT US

Our core activity is the weekly Club Ride, which takes place every Sunday morning. We usually have 3 to 4 groups of varying abilities, each embarking on a 3-4 hour ride out to the beautiful Surrey Hills.

But that's not all! We also have our annual ‘Summer Series’ of midweek evening rides, an annual weekend residential in Wales, as well as an exciting annual Brighton ride.

Club socials are also an important part of VC Colets. Our Annual Dinner & Awards, along with our Christmas drinks are just two examples.

On top of all that we also manage to secure one or two bookings per year for a session on the 2012 Olympic Velodrome! (subject to availability)

CLUB KIT

Our club kit, which is only available to members of VC Colets, is not only the envy of many other local cycling clubs & groups (and apparently a bit of a ‘fav’ in the head office of our suppliers in Italy) but is also ‘Pro-Peloton’ quality, as it is manufactured by Sportful, who currently supply the kit for the TotalEnergies pro-team.
