GS Avanti Cycling Club: Come and Join!

“Fun and friendship through cycling” is our mission. Whatever your cycling passion, GS Avanti can help with a range of benefits, whether it be just riding for fun, racing, time trialing, weekend club runs, or touring. Our membership contains a wide variety of people wanting more from their cycling, from beginner to competitive level. We’re based in Bromley, Kent, but draw riders from across SE London, Surrey and Sussex.

We have busy schedule of club runs, taking place on Weekends, plus Wednesday and Friday rides as well. Just take a look at our Club Runs section and contact one of the Avanti team.

We are also very active on the Time Trial and Race fronts. Together with 7Oaks Triathlon Club and Sydenham Wheelers CC we run up to 20 Time Trials each season, so come along and have a crack. We have a growing group of racers who we support by funding licences.

From Autumn onwards we run a weekly, indoor, turbo session managed by a professional exercise specialist. All club members are encouraged to attend.

But it's not just about the bike! You'll also find that GS Avanti is one of the friendliest most welcoming clubs around. We have plenty of social events and also have a weekly gathering during the winter to do some indoor training.....or just to mingle and have a chat.

If you'd like to become a GS Avanti member, please click here. In addition, you can find contact details for individual committee members on the contacts page.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Avanti have recently joined the Cyclist's Touring Club (CTC)  as an affiliated club.  Club members can join the CTC at a much reduced rate of just £16 per year, as opposed to £41.  This affiliate membership offers the benefits as listed below.  The key one being £10 million 3rd Party insurance for ALL your cycling - not just when you are with the club.  

If you have an accident on your bike, and cause injury or damage, then there is the possibility that you will be sued. If the damage is severe, or worse still someone is injured, you may be liable for millions.  

NOTE This is not a personal insurance. 

If you are a member of British Cycling, you will already be covered, but if you don't have 3rd party cover, then it is highly recommended that you join either BC, or CTC.  

Many cycling clubs have this as a compulsory requirement.  

You don't get the CTC magazine with affiliated membership, but CTC Affiliate membership membership benefits include:

  • £10 Million 3rd party insurance for all your cycling, except mass start events and road racing. 
  • A subscription to our weekly e-newsletter CycleClips.      
  • Free cycling related legal advice through Russell, Jones and Walker Solicitors
  • Access to CTC member only areas of the CTC website
  • Discounts from the CTC shop by wiggle and all CTC member benefit partners

 Here is a direct link, for Avanti members to join on-line.
