Station South Cycling Club | SSCC
Welcome to the Station South Cycling Club! Our aim is to provide rides and adventures for every type of cyclist – whether you’re just starting out or wanting to find someone to hit the hills with [and everything in between]. Please take a look at the details below and we hope to ride with you soon!
We are proudly affiliated with Cycling UK. The Club consists of three “colours” (Yellow, Blue, Pink) which help to label the types of rides offered.
Learn + Progress + Play
Beginners and returners looking to build confidence, always under 10km. From learn to ride sessions to gentle pootles.
Chilled + Distance
Quiet and traffic-light routes with off-road trails | From 10-80km.
Pace + Distance
Non-dropping rides from 30-200km+ Road | Gravel | MTB | Track | Racing.
The yellow group aims at being widely inclusive and focuses on learning, fun, play and families. Public rides are organised through EventBrite, but we also have a range of bespoke rides and activities tailored to suit different groups.

Or alternatively, drop Anna a note at commmunity@stationsouth.co.uk if you are a group or individual that would like to discuss a unique Yellow project.
Blue rides are ideal if you are moving on from Yellow, building confidence in group riding, or preparing to step up to Pink.
New and experienced cyclists are equally welcome. The group is inclusive, supportive, and focused on riding together, with no one left behind. We organise rides via the ‘Bee Rating’ to help manage expectations. [See below]
The pace is gauged and set by the Ride Leader and regrouping happens regularly, especially after hills. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the surroundings and stop for coffee.
Blue rides are mainly organised through Spond, click here to join for free and stay in the loop with the latest rides.
The pink group runs rides in which we ride as a group (e.g. side-by-side on the road where possible) and at an advertised pace. Rides are typically faster than blue, but are still social and friendly (including coffee stops), and re-group at the top of hills. Off-road routes (gravel or MTB) are more technical than those used by the Blue. Riders are expected to be capable riders but aren’t expected to be experienced group-riders: we only require that you are willing to learn how to group-ride safely.
The majority of Pink rides are organised through Spond – you can join here. The Pink group have an annual fee of £10 (£5 if joining Oct-Feb). New riders can try the club for 30 days or max 3 rides before deciding whether to join.
When we host our ‘All Colours’ ride events, Pink rides are organised through EventBrite.
