I am a social rider (but I also like to push myself to go faster and increase my resistance!). I like riding to help me get fit and healthy, I do also like being in nature and exploring new routes and places.
Forge London is made up of riders from all abilities and backgrounds. We have members from across the South West London area including: Chertsey, Kingston, New Malden, Putney, Richmond, Teddington and Twickenham.
We have newbies, old hands, racers, dedicated club riders, triathletes, social riders and a sprinkling who have been every one of these. The thing they have in common is remembering their first ride for a new club.
We know joining may feel like a big step but a friendly face, a word of encouragement and the chance to go further, find new places and meet great people is never far away at Forge.
So, let’s meet some of them.
I am a social rider (but I also like to push myself to go faster and increase my resistance!). I like riding to help me get fit and healthy, I do also like being in nature and exploring new routes and places.
I’m a wee bit of everything in terms of a rider: I really enjoy the social side, exploring new areas, and I’m always pushing myself to be fitter and faster. Forge London CC helps on all those fronts.
I started cycling during lock down and got totally addicted. After a few rides I was hooked. Not just hooked to riding my bike, but hooked to learning about the sport of cycling in general.
I grew up in a society where cycling was not a thing. Coming to the UK changed my view and style of life. At first, I was riding my bike to avoid traffic jams and to save time. But during lockdown I started riding more frequently and got into cycling a little more.
I am now primarily a social rider. I come from a running background where I was a fairly successful veteran track runner.
