Hitchin Nomads CCHitchin Nomads Cycling Club has been the focal point of cycling in the town since 1931. The club has a membership of around 100 cyclists and family members and there is an ever growing series of events which the club runs or takes part in.

The club is entirely run by volunteers and is self-funding.

Competitive activities including time trials, road races and cyclo-cross. The club's members also take part in long distance point-to-point or sportive rides as well as simply riding for fun. There is an off-road mountain biking contingent and there are also a series of targetted training and coaching activities.
