About this Event
Where are we going : RICHMOND PARK
Where will we start from:
The route starts outside of Hornimans Museum entrance, by the large main gates (What3words.com/bike.dream.shade)
at 8:15am, where we will set off at 8.30am sharp. Please cancel your ticket in advance, if you are unable to attend.
The Route:
We will await up to 15 mintues. We will cycle to Richmond Park (Approx 24 miles) via Dulwich and Brockwell Park, along Elms Cresent to Narbonne Ave, through Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common, through part of the Wandle Trail, into Kingston, Roehampton before arriving at Richmond Park. We intend to enjoy ourselves, stopping for tea/coffee or bring your own snacks. If there is a consensus in favour, we could visit Isabella Plantation. There is so much more to this park, to discover.
On the way back, as its a circular route, so we will head back via Battersea, Camberwell, and Peckham Rye, (and we are getting real serious about our London to Brighton ride now).
Who are we:
We ride as a group of people, mainly from an African and African Caribbean background and as cyclists we ride together regularly, often with a structured schedule and varying levels of difficulty.
We aim to start when the weather is improving this could be as early as January or February. But sometimes it could be as late as March/April, with easier local rides to start the year off, and we increase the distance and go further afield, until November or December (if we are really lucky), and we have been riding together since November 2020.
Who is this ride for:
The ride is for adults only and we have a mixed ability within the group. We welcome new riders. On some of our rides, there is likely to be at least one hill, but we try to avoid them where possible. We will wait, if you can't make it all the way to the top without stopping and we are a supportive group. You can sign up for rides when they are published. However, if you wish to join Kweens and Kings Cycling Network, you will need to complete a registration form before you can be added to the WhatsApp group, and complete at least 6 rides over the course of the year to remain as a member.
What you should bring:
Your bike and helmet, appropriate attire for riding and weather conditions, and a smile.
We ride as a group, but please cycle carefully, and abide by the rules of the road. Your safety will be at your own discretion.
Please come prepared with inflatable tyre and/or pump.
Light fruits/snacks and water according to your preference. A travel card/cash.
