Kingston Phoenix Road Club

The Kingston Phoenix Road Club is a small cycle-racing club based in the Kingston/Epsom/Sutton area of South London.
We have been going since 1936 and currently have a small but loyal membership of roughly 30 people. Our main claim to fame in recent years has been the number of women actively racing for the club: 4 ladies is quite a high number by local standards - and in 2002 we are up to five!

Four Ladies Our main area of racing is Time Trialling, and we are affiliated to the London South District of the Road Time Trials Council - the RTTC - which is the sport’s governing body. Various members dabble in other kinds of racing such as Road Racing (think Tour de France) and Mountain-Biking. We also have strong links with the Cheam & Morden Section of the Cyclists Touring Club.
We are not a club of superstars by any means. On many occasions we have won awards by default: our riders have finished in the prizes because it was a wet and windy day and the fast men didn't ride!

New members are always welcome – especially beginners.

Do not be put off by the fact that the Secretary lives in Maidenhead and the Time Trials Secretary lives near Wembley, this is an indication of their loyalty to the club despite having to move away due to other aspects of their lives
We enjoy weekends away - both touring and racing - and organize a number of social gatherings: The Club Dinner, BBQ’s, cinema evenings, the annual New Year’s Eve party; for anyone who wants to be involved. If you have family commitments Time Trialling can take up as little or as much of your time as you want. Time Trialling is an excellent sport for beginners and people with no time for training, as you can participate whatever your level of fitness. Rider attacking

Youngsters are welcome, but need parental consent until the age of 18 to be able to race, and must be accompanied by an adult as, although we will try to look after them, there is no one prepared to be responsible for unaccompanied minors. Nobody under the age of 12 is allowed to compete in Time Trials on the open road, this is a rule of the sport’s governing body for their own safety. Unfortunately the only children currently involved with the club are the offspring of club members.
