Welcome To Bigfoot Cycle Club

Welcome to Bigfoot Cycle Club based in Hayes near Bromley, Kent. We have over 130 members not only from the immediate area but from Beckenham to Blackheath, riding or racing for fun and fitness. We run regular road and off-road rides for all abilities and family rides to allow riders to bring along their kids in a safe environment.

If you’re interested in riding then check out the calendar section or forums for when our next rides are and why not come along and try one out. If you enjoy yourself you can join the club to get various membership benefits.

Newcomers' Guide: Turn up and ride!

We're going to the pub! There's a social meeting at the Two Doves on Oakley Road, BR2 8HD at 8pm on Wednesday September 15th in the back room. All club members and prospective members are welcome. It's a chance to find out about the plans for September and October (see below) and hear about a couple of exciting ideas for 2011. The Pickhurst where we had planned to meet was unavailable.

Late Summer 'Sporteef' - Saturday Sept 18th
The Bigfoot Late Summer 'Sporteef' is designed for ALL riders as a whole club on-road event. Last year 50 riders took part and we're hoping to top that. There'll be three separate rides (Levels 2, 3 and 4) converging for an intermediate stop at the Speedgate Cafe by Brands Hatch. Note earlier start time of 8am.

Hog Hill Club Day - October 17th
Similar to the event we held at Hog Hill last year, Bigfoot CC is planning to hire the HH road race and MTB circuits for a two hour session on October 17. Open to all, it's a chance to have a go on a race circuit at your own pace or in a group, practicing your skills. Adults £10, children free (must be accompanied by a parent/guardian). More details on the forums.

Sept 19th family & level 1 local ride
Adam is leading another great Sunday Family and Level 1 Ride on September 19th. It's virtually all off road or on quiet roads with no hills to Jubilee Country Park and Chislehurst. See the Next Rides Page for all the details.

Rog & Dee: Round The World Day 150
Rog and Dee are still in Iran enjoying warm hospitality, attracting police attention and the locals' curiosity: "So many people across Northern Iran must think that all English women, have large derrieres and cheesy grins, with husbands, wearing an Aussie hat!" Check out the photos of their journey so far and visit their blog www.afistfullofgears.co.uk where you can leave goodwill messages.

2010/11 Kit update
Most of the kit in our first order has now sold out but there are still a few long-sleeve jerseys (£50) available to buy in L and XL. Visit Bigfoot Bikes if you're interested. An order has been placed for more short-sleeve jerseys (men and women's), bibshorts (men and women's), long-sleeve jersys, gilets and arm warmers. Delivery is expected in October. Please see the Forum post for details.

Team Bigfoot CC climb up the rankings
Our small team of road racers have secured a over dozen top ten finishes and numerous wins between them to place the team in the top 10 teams in British Cycling South East rankings. The team are continuing to push in races to secure their placing as the season draws to a close. If you're interested in trying racing see our racing pages.

ABOUT BIGFOOT CYCLE CLUB

At Bigfoot Cycle Club (formerly Bigfoot Bike Club!) we like to ride for fun and fitness. We aim to appeal to leisure cyclists right up semi-serious riders who enjoy taking part in sportives, races and time trials. The club is affiliated to the Cyclists Touring Club (CTC), the Road Time Trials Council (RTTC) and British Cycling (BC).

We are based in Hayes near Bromley, Kent and organise regular road rides for different levels. There is a lively off-road section with night rides every week. We also run off road rides in a safe environment for kids and family. In addition to regular rides in the local area the club also arranges trips away, from mountain biking in the Lake District to a week in Italy.
