About our club

We are a road cycling club based in Chelmsford, Essex.
Our aim is to give our members training rides that are fun, sociable and safe.
We ride every Saturday morning from Chelmsford and incorporate a coffee stop into the ride.
Currently riding as four groups, ranging from beginners, to race pace.
As well as the regular club run, we are looking at entering races, sportives and time trials. We have club affiliation to British Cycling and to Cycling Time Trials (CTT) enabling you to take part in many different organised events whatever your favourite discipline. We are also investigating training weekends away within the UK to places hillier and tad more challenging than our native Essex!

Read what members say about their club:-

"I'd like to say a massive thanks to all the Dynamo'ers for last night. I had lovely comments from all of you, but it was the team spirit and support from everyone that made my ride a good one. I can truly say that I was proud to be wearing the Black Jersey and part of such a great team."

"Thanks for a great event nothing negative from me whatsoever , the organisation & the attention to detail from your part was spot on & you got us all to the beach in perfect time for sunrise , the camaraderie within the group was great & a pleasure to be part of & long may it continue"

"What a brilliant weekend. Everyone should be very proud of themselves for a superb ride. And thanks to Karen and Vince for the brilliant support, we couldn't have got though this without you guys. I have no complaints about anything, it was perfect."

"Another group I rode with for a bit were Maillot Noir, These guys were great, had like a captain that kept everyone together and warned of people passing or wanting to come by etc, really polite and happy to have people tag along with them!"

"I rode about 40 miles with the Maillot Noir peloton, until they stopped at the pub. A very well-organised two-abreast group. We all pushed on nicely"

Off the bike, we also partake in winter training sessions on Watt bikes, spin classes and, not taking ourselves too seriously, we are also keen on the odd club social to the pub!
