Beginnings of Passion
Surrey Cycling Club's story is one of passion ignited under the early morning sky. It began in September 2020 when Rafal, our club's founder, noticed a gap in the local cycling community and decided one evening to start social, and friendly road cycling club.
From Idea to Reality
These serene, early morning rides weren't just about avoiding traffic; they were a celebration of the sport, the landscape, and the joy of cycling. This satisfaction and love for cycling led to the birth of what was initially known as Sunrise Cycling Club, capturing the essence of those early rides.
Getting Momentum
The club's unique concept of sunrise rides quickly resonated with local cyclists. As we shared our adventures on Strava and social media, more and more riders joined, attracted by our shared passion and the simple idea of starting their day with an early ride, yet being back home in time for their morning routines.
A Club & Community Forms
The club's growth was organic but steady. By the end of 2020, we had become an official club entity, affiliated with British Cycling, laying down the groundwork for future expansions. In early 2021, our community began to flourish. Our rides became more frequent, longer, and more adventurous, drawing in cyclists from all over the local area.

Redefining Ourselves
As the club evolved, so did our identity. The name 'Sunrise Cycling Club' began to feel limiting. Our community was about more than just sunrise rides; it was about shared experiences, personal growth, and a love for cycling in all its forms. In the summer of 2021, we embraced a new name that better reflected our broadened scope and inclusive nature:
Surrey Cycling Club.
Embracing Our Heritage
With our new identity, we introduced our first official kit. Inspired by the Surrey County flag, our navy blue and yellow design not only represented the club's spirit but also paid homage to Surrey's rich history. This design, rooted in tradition, visually and symbolically united our members.
A Growing Community
Since our rebranding, Surrey Cycling Club has continued to grow, not just in numbers but in the depth of our connections and the breadth of our activities. We've fostered partnerships with renowned cycling brands and local businesses, enhancing the benefits we offer to our members.
Looking to the Future
Since 2021, our partnerships and redesigned Kalas kits have elevated our presence. Support from entities like GCN, Chapeau!, and Muc-Off, along with local bike shops, has been instrumental. Our growth to over 100 active members in 2023 stands as a testament to our welcoming and supportive community.
