Where will we start:

Note: This is a feeder ride to the main event. The route starts at Lewisham Clock Tower SE13 6AT. And we will start at the meeting point for 7.30am prompt.

The Route:

We will ride to Greenwich, taking the Foot tunnel to Isle of Dogs and onwards to the Olympic Park. We will then check-in for the new style 'new tings' of BURB (please make sure you are registered for the BUBR event, in advance). After the days 'njoyment an tings', on the way back, we be cruise via Silvertown to catch the Shuttle bus from Seagull Lane to Greenwich and onwards back to Lewisham and make your own way home from there.

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 usually aim to start when the weather is improving March/April, (we have however started as early as January, it depends on the weather), 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. We are rolling for Joy, embracing life in the outdoors. We have left a space for you!

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:

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.
