Where are we going :

We are making a 33 miles round trip to Halstead, Kent in preparation of our London to Brighton Ride. This ride is challenging and if you haven't done over 25 miles before, you should consider carefully, if this is the right ride for you.

Sunday May 17 from 8am to 14:00pm approx BST starting from:

Sydenham Retail Park, Bell Green, by the entrance to the Waterlink (where the buses turn around): SE26 4PR. What3words.com/slams.petty.noisy

Please cancel your ticket in advance if you are unable to attend.

The Route:

We will cycle towards West Wickham and Keston Ponds, Downe Valley and Cudham. We aim to take a Tea/Coffee break between Cudham and Halstead, or in the surrounding areas in this scenic ride. For the return journey, we will past through Chelsfield Village back via Bromley to Sydenham.

Who are we:

We ride as a group of people, mainly from a African and African Caribbean background and as cyclists we ride together regularly, often with a structured schedule and we have varying levels of abilities.

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 the ride for:

The ride is for adults only and we have a mixed ability within the group. We welcome new riders. On this ride there will be hills, but we are a supportive group. You can sign up for rides when they are published. 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.
