Willesden CC – Audax Champions

The Willesden Cycling Club has an impressive record of achievement in Audax. We have been one of the strongest clubs in the UK and our riders were early pioneers in Audax riding.

We have also organised a large number of Audaxes in the past. A full SR (Series Randonnee: 200, 300, 400, 600Km) plus a range of other events in PBP years and at least a dozen events in other years.

If you are keen on long-distance cycling, live in or near West London and want the support of a club in your riding, then Willesden is the club for you!
