The Route:
We will cycle from Thurston Road to Stave Hill by rolling towards Brookmill Park and Deptford, via National cycle route 21 to Stave Hill for the views over Canary Wharf. We will then head over to the Onion Garden from Vauxhall Bridge and enjoy the tranquil scenery of this city garden. We will stop and break for snacks/drinks, and head back via Herne Hill and Dulwich Park to Horniman's, Forest Hill, 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, which 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 group 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.
NB: If you find that you are unable to attend after you have booked, please cancel your ticket at least 24 hours before the event, so that it can be offered to someone else.
If you would like to join the WhatsApp group, please ask me on one of the rides, and be prepared to commit to at least 6 rides annually, to remain in the group.
