Kweens and Kings Trek to Dr Harold Moody Park and Burgess Park

When are we riding :

Sunday 25th January 2026 at 9.30am (please keep an eye on any updates with the weather, as we may need to reschedule and will update you).

Where will we start from:

The route starts outside 41 Glassmill Leisure Centre SE13 7FT (Loampit Vale side) at 9.30am

The Route:

We intend to continue with the easy/leisurely pace.

Today we are still fairly close between the Southwark and Lewisham Borders with this ride featuring Harold Moody.

If the weather permits, we will learn more about Harold Moody on Queens Road before we head for his name sake Park at Sturdy Road.

We then go on to Burgess Park to a series of connecting parks that make it up, and enjoy the wider paths for cycling, the duck pond and so much more. We might enjoy a tea/coffee break here too. We will return to Loampit Vale where the ride will end.

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 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 this ride for:

This ride is short local ride and is ideal for beginners and/or people who haven’t ridden for a long time and may need to build their confidence.

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, and become a member, you will need to complete a registration form, complete at least 6 rides over the course of the year, before you can be added to the WhatsApp group.
