Kent Velo Boys
Kent Velo Boys is the men’s section of the Kent Velo Girls Cycling Club, aimed at social group riding. We are very proud to have been born from the KVG and continue to grow and support the ethos of women’s cycling.
Our members range from those returning to two wheels for fitness and camaraderie, to experienced riders training for some of the toughest cycling events.
We meet weekly on Saturdays at 9.15am, when we ride in groups, organised by speed from our base in Hilden Park Golf Club. There is also a Sunday mixed ride with the Kent Velo Girls.
The Kent Velo Boys are a supportive and friendly cycling club that welcomes and encourages new members and provides a safe group riding experience where “no one is dropped.”
At the same time, we’re looking to improve our skills and the scope of our riding through our club events, such as our annual training camp in Mallorca and cycling experiences such as One Day Tour to the Isle of Wight. Naturally, we also take part together with the Kent Velo Girls in sportives around the UK and Europe.
During the winter months, Zwift has become an important indoor option especially for those who are time constrained or working during the day.
When the riding is done, we like nothing better than to share our experiences and thoughts about bikes, training, races, kit and just about anything else over a coffee or the occasional curry.
We enjoy a close association with our founder Kent Velo Girls, with whom we organise joint rides, training and events.

For prospective members wishing to join the Kent Velo Boys section of the club:
Induction rides are offered throughout the year and are led by a member of the Kent Velo Boys who is a British Cycling qualified coach, along with another experienced member of the club. The rides will take place as part of the club’s weekly Saturday morning ride and will be of approximately 30 miles on local roads to practice group riding techniques and the associated safety issues within a group of club regular riders.
