The Clarencourt Cycling Club is a small well-established club based around Cheam but with members mainly from around North Surrey who enjoy riding their bikes together socially. They welcome new members and can cater for all abilities.

The Club was formed in 1927 when a group of lads with bikes who lived in Oxford and Cambridge Villas on Clarendon and Courtney Roads in Colliers Wood decided to form a cycling club after watching cyclists returning down the high street after a Sunday in the country. Hence the club's unusual name and its colours. Within a few years all disciplines of cycling, touring, racing and bicycle polo were being practiced and before the war notable local success was achieved particularly in massed start racing.

The club was reformed in 1945 and membership swelled to over a hundred in this heyday of cycling where the tradition of club cycling for pleasure proved a bedrock for athletic endeavour. Local racing successes came in time-trialling at all distances in the early fifties with some of those old champions still around today. A few years later, when massed start racing on the open road and cyclo cross started, Clarencourt members entered into these arenas with enthusiasm and some considerable regional success. Touring abroad, which had been practiced by a few stalwarts since the club started, became more frequent and Clarencourt riders also raced in Europe.

In the 70's and 80's the mass popularity of cycling waned as cars became more available but still the club flourished with individual successes from a smaller membership. With the arrival of mountain bikes the club's traditional interest in off-road riding found a new outlet and such rides were incorporated into the programme of activities alongside the road programme.

In recent years as our participation in racing has declined our main reputation came from the promotion of two major bike races and in 2004 we promoted the Team Time Trial National Championship. Now our range of activities has been extended to include midweek leisure rides locally. Nowadays the membership is older and smaller with reduced participation in racing, although we still have the organization and experience to support those with athletic ambition. Today we are back to being a small group of people who enjoy riding bikes together mainly in the beautiful countryside of Surrey and Sussex. And we'd like you to join us!
