Women's Cycling Club

London Dynamo prides itself on being a vibrant, and friendly cycling club, committed to fostering a diverse and welcoming community. Women’s Cycling is an integral part of our club and our membership continues to grow and thrive. We offer a wide variety of engaging activities exclusively for women members. From open days and ride-outs to informative skills sessions, social gatherings and an annual training camp abroad – there’s something for everyone.

Many of our women cyclists get involved in racing both on the road, at criteriums and in Zwift. However, being a racer is not a requirement to join and enjoy being part of our club. Many other members prefer the more relaxed and social side of our rides or opt for our coaching sessions available throughout the warmer months.

At both ends of the riding spectrum, there exists a common desire among our members to improve and have fun. This collective aim serves to enhance our safety, proficiency and enjoyment as riders. We embrace riders of all backgrounds at varying experience levels and with a range of personal goals. Whether you prefer women-only events or mixed group rides, the choice is yours. Explore Our Rides for more details on what we offer and join us on the journey to new cycling adventures.

The 2026 edition took place 15-19 April in Denia, Costa Blanca. Known for its sunshine, stunning coastline, and legendary cycling routes, Denia is a hotspot for both professionals and keen amateurs alike.

Denia plays host to many professional cycling teams during the European pre-season. It is common to find the likes of Pogacar, Van der Poel and Evenepoel using the roads between Denia and Calpe as their training ground. The local routes are often used by the professional teams in the Vuelta a España and Volta Valenciana. Riders enjoyed a variety of daily rides to suit all levels, from rolling coastal routes to the famous Coll de Rates climb.

The 2025 London Dynamo Women’s Camp ran from March 26th to the 30th March, in the stunning coastal town of Almuñécar, located in the heart of Costa Tropical, near Malaga, Spain. This camp came hot off the success of the 2024 Women’s Training Camp in Cambrils, Spain.

Almuñécar is a renowned destination for professional cycling teams like Movistar and Cofidis, who regularly choose this picturesque beach town for their pre-season training. With a variety of coastal roads and challenging inland mountain routes, Almuñécar offered the perfect training ground.

FAQs

How does London Dynamo support women cyclists?

All of our members are part of the same mixed-gender club. We ride and socialise in mixed-gender groups the majority of the time. However, we recognise that cycling is a male-dominant sport which may create a barrier to entry and/or engagement in our rides and socials for those who do not identify as male. It is therefore important to us to occasionally create spaces for those to ride and socialise separately to the men. We aim to have a smaller selection of women-only rides and social events. We also organise a women’s cycling camp abroad once per year.

Do you organise women-only rides?

Yes, please see Our Rides for more detail.

Are there also mixed-gender rides?

Yes, aside from racing, anyone is welcome to ride in our usual club rides/events in mixed-gender groups. This forms the majority of our organised rides.

Do you have women specific Training Camps?

We have a women-only cycling camp each year abroad, usually in April, which is a mix of training rides and socialising. The cut-off to sign up is often around 6 months before, but this can be discussed with our Women’s Captain if you are interested in going.

Do the women have a racing team?

Yes, we have a core women’s racing team of Cat 1-3 riders who target National Level Races and also many women who race just for fun. If you are interested in racing, just let our Women’s Captain know when you join the club. She can put you in touch with the Women’s Race Team Lead and add you to any relevant groups.

Can I ride socially but not race?

Yes, the majority of our membership do not race and prefer to go on training rides or social rides. The choice is yours!

How can I improve my riding skills?

All our rides will give you an opportunity to improve your riding. Most members will be happy to give you support and guidance if you ask. We encourage all riders to attend our novice race training days in the Spring/Summer. These days are well worth doing even if you have no intention of racing. Throughout the Summer, the club hires a British Cycling certified coach for mid-week sessions in Richmond Park. These are also a great way of improving your skills and fitness.
