ChaseTheAce Posted March 29, 2022 Share Hi All, I have decided that cycling alone, and on Zwift can get lonely at times. I would like to join an active club/group to improve my training and road riding, learning about what events are on, training plans, where to ride, licencing, etc. Maybe make some chom's along the way too. Are there any good clubs within the Table View area that I can contact? I only know of the Outriders, are there any others around? I am originally from the Southern Suburbs, so things are still foreign here for me after 6 years 😆 Edited March 29, 2022 by ChaseTheAce Adjusted for bad spelling ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazshell Posted March 29, 2022 Share As chairman of East Coast Cycling Club, the largest cycling club in KZN and having had the pleasure of riding with the Outriders whenever I am in Cape Town to visit my daughter, I can honestly say you need look no further. A great bunch of guys and girls, at least 4 batches on a weekend ride, regular rides on a Tuesday and Thursday and excellent communication from the chairman. Plus they are definitely the closest to you. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryS Posted March 29, 2022 Share Outriders is the closest to you, but there is also City Cycling Club. They ride from Edgemead. https://www.citycyclingclub.co.za/ DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted March 29, 2022 Share Two of the biggest clubs in the area already mentioned. Otherwise touch base with the LBS in the area ... they are often at the centre of group rides. Cycles Direct and CycleTeknix come to mind. PS: if you were active in the southern suburbs, let me know who that was with. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaseTheAce Posted March 29, 2022 Share Thanks all for the feedback. I'll reach out to those okes! I wanna go fast, so looking for some gurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted March 29, 2022 Share Then probably reach out to City Cycling rather, they really have all types of riders, all the way up to elite. Outriders seems more chilled DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycles Direct and Forward in Motion are both associated with the Outriders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
