Yeah, I wasn't really suggesting BHV. It's not what you're looking for.
For fast group training rides on a Saturday, check out Bigfoot CC. Their fast group is strong. They do runs down towards Staplehurst (my usual training route) and also Ashdown Forest. They also have a mid paced group too I believe.
I've heard the fast group is proper, no nonsense, leave everything on the road fast. But good for the legs.

I've seen Bigfoot out and about a lot and they're either a group of young guys absolutely smashing it or older folk on a pootle... think i'd join the latter group! A good idea thanks. Would like something a bit more local though - they meet out towards Orpington / Bromley I think.
Am going to try Brixton or Cadence

Brixton seem like a good club. Shame I was undertaken by one just now on the commute though. Not a good look.
If you're going to wear club kit on the commute, you'd better ride like you're giving a fucking masterclass.

Might not be a club member, might just wear the kit as it's sold to the public.

Nah, I'm full beginner! Got a track day at Lee Valley for Christmas so will give that a go and then pop down to HH.
Thanks for the advice though, much appreciated!

Maybe I'll start Groucho CC. An oxymoron, emphasis on the moron.

'Moron' is Welsh for carrot.

Def emphasis on those! Oh wait I don't puff any more. Much.

Grouchy CC would be more in character.

Couldn't believe how many riders I saw heading out of London into essex from Lee Valley Velo Club and Islington CC this morning.
Was like London Dynamo heading south about a decade ago (I haven't ridden south of London since then, so no idea what it is like now).

Makes sense!
Kinda both, more the latter. And to meet new folk.
Bhv is a social thing mostly isn't it? But you and Ben are machines..
