Women’s racing London Phoenix women take part in all aspects of bike racing. In addition to racing in the London Women’s Cycle Racing league, we had a women’s team in the London Cyclocross Team Champs, and our mountain bikers take part in events (see London Phoenix Chix).

Thanks mainly to Astrid, who has turned out to be something of a star on the road as well as in cyclo-cross, we’re currently in 6th position in the London Women’s Cycle Racing League.  Astrid’s cyclo-cross experience has come in very handy though, with a Lance Armstrong-style detour across the grass at the Hog Hill […]

London Phoenix is proud to be one of the founding clubs supporting the new London Women’s Cycle Racing League. Designed to encourage greater participation from women at all levels of road racing, the league in 2010 – sponsored by look mum no hands!– consists of a variety of different events including road, circuit, criterium races […]

The grey skies did nothing to dampen the 13 girls (and 5 boys) spirits as Sam led us on her route out of busy London into the stunning scenery of Essex. Along undulating roads we pedalled and chatted our way towards the spectacular Jericho Cottage cafe and antique shop in Blackmore run by Judy for […]

Phoenix fielded 2 women riders at this weekend’s penultimate round of the Hog Hill Winter Series which had a great turn-out, with 16 riders on the line. An early mechanical put paid to Liz’s chances early on, but Annabel faired better and battled her way to 7th place having chased down the leading group of […]

After the success of the Women’s Rides in 2009, London Phoenix have agreed to make them a permanent calendar fixture. We hope that as news of the rides spread we will see an increasing number of women of all standards join – and that means you! Provisional dates for rides over the next 6 months […]

On a perfect sunny Sunday afternoon, nine girls (plus two boys) met up for a ride in the Hertfordshire lanes. Organised by Liz, five of us set off from Enfield, picking up 6 more 25km later at Hertford train station. Then it was on to a 60km round trip back to Hertford including a tea […]

We’re running another women’s ride on Sunday 23rd August – if you have a road bike and feel reasonably confident you can ride 50km, why not join us? We’ll keep the pace to whatever everyone can enjoy, so don’t worry about how fast you can go – no-one gets left behind on these rides!  This […]

The 2009 Bristol BikeFest was another great off-road outing for the Phoenix Chix. Isabel was really keen and plunged straight into enduro riding by entering in the 12 hour mixed pairs with Dan. She did a very creditable 6 laps through the red mud and over and under Chickenwire Bridge. Abi and I decided to […]
