CS Grupetto
We are a little bit different to most clubs in that we\'re primarily a group of friends who socialise off the bike, but we happen to share a common interest in cycling and cyclesport. We are based in Putney and have regular weekend rides out to Windsor and the Surrey Hills, as well as occasional trips elsewhere.
We have a wide variety of cycling interests amongst club members, from track riding to road racing, and sportives to bike polo. Several of our members have their race licences, and we\'re represented in every category including Elite
We regularly travel further afield to enjoy some of the classic races – this year quite a few of us have ridden the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix sportives, and then watched the pros follow our tyre tracks. We also try and get to see the Ghent and Berlin six day track events.
At the core of the club ethos is a desire to enjoy good rides with good friends.

About Grupetto
‘The grupetto – that happy band of brothers with a common interest in survival and a shared effort in bringing the whole of the group to the end of the race. The mood in the grupetto has a greater sense of camaraderie than in the main peloton and riders often assist one another with food and drinks. It is with good reason that the grupetto is often referred to in italian stage races as ‘the laughing group’.
CS Grupetto has grown from two friends who discovered a love for road riding to include a happy throng of riders with a simple desire to enjoy good cycling with good mates.
