Club Nights

Club Nights are regular events that give members and non-members the opportunity to get together over a few drinks (alcoholic or otherwise!) and chat about all things cycling. Our Club Nights are held from 8pm to around 11pm on the first and third Fridays of the month at Old Woking Cricket Club (map). The Clubhouse is warm and friendly and has a well-stocked bar. If you're thinking of joining the Charlotteville CC and want to find out more about the Club from some of its members then come along to one of our Club Nights.

Sunday Morning Club Runs

We organise weekly rides (Club Runs) every Sunday morning that cover many of the scenic and undulating roads around Surrey and the surrounding counties. As with our Club Nights (see above), our Club Runs are open to all and are a great way for prospective members to get a feel for the Club before joining up. Novice riders should note that we organise regular Beginners Rides that are shorter in distance and slower in pace than our regular Club Runs; generally these are held on the first Sunday of the month. Our Club Runs depart from the car park at the Spectrum Leisure Centre in Guildford (map) at 09:00hrs.

For more details please see our new 'club run' section of the website from the left hand menu.

Club Socials

Club Socials are held in addition to club nights and are another opportunity for club members to get together to discuss anything and everything cycling-related. They take place on the last Friday of every month at 8pm at All Bar One in Guildford. If you need advice on something bike-related or simply want to get to know other members better, then come along.

Cycle Jumble

The club organised cycle jumble held in Ripley is scheduled to take place on Saturday 9th June 2012. Its one of the club's biggest and best events.  Further information about the event, booking tables etc. will be available closer to the time. Here are some pictures from the 2008 event. All offers of help or requests for further information should be directed at Carol Golsby.

Competitive Events

The Charlotteville CC promotes a full calendar of competitive events every season, from the Club Hilly in mid-March through to the Club Hill Climb at the beginning of October and including our season-long Evening 10 mile TT series, Open time trials at 10 and 50 miles and the spectacular Guildford Town Centre Road Races. The club also fulfils its obligations to help organise two Surrey League Road Races each year too. With a few notable exceptions, our events are held in the Pirbright area (map).Our forthcoming competitive events are listed in the table below. Most of our Club events are open to all and our Evening 10s in particular are a good place to start if you're a novice rider or would like to get a feel for the Club before joining up. Asterisks indicate special entry conditions. For a full listing of events including course descriptions and details of how to enter please refer to our Racing Calendar.

Please note that for all Evening 10's this year the use of a rear light is mandatory (and you will not be able to start unless you have one). Spare lights will be available for purchase on the line in case you forget yours but we want to ensure your safety both on the course and also to and from the event.

Committee Meetings are now being held monthly as part of a club night (usually the first Friday of the month).  Therefore they are held at the Remnants Cricket Club, Old Woking (map) starting at 8pm.
