About Us

The Kingston Phoenix Road Club is a Club that welcomes riders of all abilities and cycling backgrounds, and promotes and celebrates participation in all cycling activities. The Club has its origins in cycle racing and encourages all Members to consider taking part in friendly, competitive racing.

 

Based in the Kingston/Epsom/Sutton area of Surrey, South West of London, our Saturday rides usually start at Horton Country Park in Epsom.

​

We were formed in 1936 to allow members of the local cycle touring section of the CTT to race with their friends rather than leave to join one of the many existing cycle racing clubs. Our main cycling sport is Time Trialling and we have a long and proud history in this sport. 

​

Over the decades the club has held club nights at locations in Kingston and Worcester Park, but due to our modern busy lives we now meet on the second Thursday of the month at a pub in Epsom. Of course many of our members also meet on our many rides and keep in touch via our Whatsapp groups of which we currently have for our Saturday and Sunday rides. You can also find more details about our recent rides on our Facebook page and tweets on X formerly Twitter.

​

In recent years we have organised time trial events during the summer months, an Open 10 mile time trial and an annual BBQ; we have enjoyed Easter weekend rides (in 2026 to Lechlade, 2025 to Winchester, 2024 to Eastbourne, 2023 to Bournemouth) by road and trail rider groups; sometimes some members take a trip in early May trip to Majorca or a weekend for the trail riders, to North Wales in 2026 and to Suffolk in 2024.

​​​

At the end of September 2026 we have 100 members. New members are always welcome to try us out before joining us. Just turn up on your road or mountain bike and join our Saturday morning rides, starting at 10am from the car park in Horton Country park. Here's the map.

Off Road Trail rides

 

Away from the competitive side of the sport we have a growing number of off-road trail riders who have a fantastic knowledge of tracks and trails through many of our local woods and commons. We ride on Saturday, Tuesday and Friday.

​

We organise stay away weekend rides. In February 2026 we enjoyed a weekend of trails in the Forest of Dean and last year a weekend ride from Epsom to Winchester and back.

Road rides

 

We are a sociable bunch and organise Saturday rides that meet at Horton Country Park, Epsom, for a morning ride. 

​

Our rides are best suited to drop handlebar road bikes rather than hybrids.

​

Ride details can be found here.

Time Trials

 

We are one of several local clubs who organise 10 mile time trials, a low cost and easy way of starting the sport.
