Fighting off strong competition from clubs across the UK, the Cowley Road Condors won Cycling Weekly's Club of the Year Award, for 2023.
Started by four friends as a bit of an East Oxford lads’ club that followed the traditional fast-riding club run standard, the Cowley Road Condors have evolved into something markedly different. The cycling club prides itself on being a place that stresses friendliness foremost in its identity and sustains a large number of riders and racers that reflect the inner-city and academic community in which it’s based. Its members highlight its inclusivity, and talking to them it’s quickly apparent that the Condors’ fundamental objective is to encourage anyone and everyone onto two wheels, by any means possible, whether it be with social rides, time trials, enduro, mountain biking, cyclo-cross, treasure hunts, and anything beyond.
