Where will we start:
The route starts at the car park, entrance of Hornimans Museum, London Road SE23 3PQ. And we will start at the meeting point for 7am.
The Route:
We will ride from Forest Hill will be via Dulwich/Brockwell Park/Dulwich Clapham Common, over Wandsworth Bridge, into Fulham Palace Road and on to Chiswick before arriving at Gunnersbury Park. We will stop for snacks/lunch/break/toilets. On the way back we will ride via the Thames Path.
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 usually aim to start when the weather is improving 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.
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 committ to at least 6 rides annually, to remain in the group.
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.
