joining balham cc

Thank you for your interest in Balham CC, here you will find
some notes about how to join BCC

To become a member of BCC we invite you to first of all join one of our Social Rides and answer a few simple questions about your riding to help us get you in the right pace group - find the form here.

Next step - contact us (see button below) to arrange a place on one of our Social Rides. We organise a Social Ride on the 3rd Sunday of each month - here is our Social Ride Calendar.
To find out more about the routes visit Our Rides.

If you can't make a social ride in the near future but wish to gain a sense of the club you are welcome to request a meet up at our Richmond Park Laps, Wednesday evenings, summer months - these run subject to good weather and Ride Lead availability. Contact us button below.

Fitness expectation
See our Pace Group Menu to find out more about the pace. To enjoy a BCC Social Ride you need to be able to comfortably maintain a 19-20 kmh MTA for 70km, with a few hills.

No drop policy
We always wait at the top of significant hills, and for mechanicals that can be remediated roadside (punctures /dropped chains etc.)

Wait list
We try to keep a short wait list by inviting you to join as soon as possible after initial enquiry. However please do be patient as we are all volunteers with day jobs and as such we do monitor email and social media and respond in the main in a timely manner.

Other notes......
If you have any further questions you may find the answers in our FAQ’s, or Contact us below.

We look forward to riding with you soon.
