Based in Norwich and founded in 2011 with lots of ideas and enthusiasm for our sport. We promote all aspects of cycling, both competitive as well as for pleasure, fitness and transportation.
Our current members take part in a range of cycling including Mountain Biking, Gravel riding, Club Runs, Sportive, Cyclocross, Road Racing, Time Trials, Triathlons and even Ironman Events.
Founded by a fifty plus strong group of cyclists, both male, female, young and old that shared a mutual passion for all things cycling, Iceni Velo evolved from what was Street life Cycles/ Extreme Sports Therapy group. Our unofficial group became so popular that we became a official British Cycling affiliated club.

The club is run by members for members

Wednesday – From Spring through to Autumn there is a mid week evening club ride, often with a social gathering at the finish
James enjoys the mental challenge of longer rides and is generally seen tucking into Beans on Toast at the cafe stop, for which he is a self appointed connoisseur.
Will started riding bikes at a young age with his Dad on Suffolk roads. He soon moved on to bigger challenges such as riding down the West Coast of the USA, and across Korea to the infamous border. He now enjoys a day out with the club on Norfolk roads, with a decent pint to finish!
Jon has been a member of Iceni Velo since 2012. Now retired from a 35 year career in the caring profession with the NHS, he is hoping to enjoy more bike rides. He is currently the club's welfare officer. Jon enjoys steady rides and especially likes mini adventures that the bike takes him, be that coast to coast road trips, tours on the continent, local bike packing or riding through the night on the Dunwich Dynamo. When Jon is not riding his bike he walks his dogs and keeps busy with DIY projects at home.
John has dabbled in many cycling disciplines, and has enjoyed many years of racing cyclocross, road and time trials with Iceni Velo. More recently he moved onto longer distance audax riding with generous time allowances, including London-Edinburgh-London, London-Wales-London and Ben Allen's Summer Outing.
Colin joined Iceni Velo in 2012 after, like many, falling in love again with cycling during London 2012. Cycling in Tenerife and around Kielder Forest (Northumberland) has presented him with his biggest challenges and most FUN! Colin now spends most of his “ride time” off-road. His first bike was a Grifter.
Michael joined Iceni Vélo in 2019 and is a late comer to club riding - better late than never. He always enjoys the Sunday Club Run with the important, obligatory cafe stop and really appreciates the health and fitness benefits that come with regular riding.
