Founded in 2012, Walden Velo is Saffron Walden’s largest cycling club, with over 140 registered members. We’re a friendly, inclusive community built around a shared love of cycling. We host weekly rides every throughout the year, and we welcome both new and experienced riders to join Walden Velo.
Ride With Us
We host regular rides throughout the year and welcome both new and experienced riders.
Sunday Club Ride
Our main weekly ride rolls out from Market Square at 7:30am (summer) or 8:30am (winter). Rides last 2–3 hours, with multiple groups ranging from 15mph (24km/h) to 20+mph (34km/h).
Other club rides
We also run road rides on Wednesday and Friday mornings, plus monthly gravel rides and summer evening gravel sessions. See here for more details about our club rides.
More than just riding
Most of our members ride to stay fit and socialise, but many also compete across road, time trial, cyclocross, MTB and track disciplines. The club hosts open events, including an annual hill climb in October. We also host off the bike social events throughout the year – no Lycra required!
Join us
New members are always welcome, and we encourage you to join us for a couple of rides before deciding to become a member. Visit our Join Us page for full details on how to get involved.
