To Cator Park, Beckenham place Park. Northbrook Park, Manor House park, Blackheath, and Ladywell Park.
Where will we start from:
The route starts outside Halfords, SE6 4NU at 8am
The Route:
For our penultimate ride, we will meet outside SE6 4NU - HALFORDS, and cycle first to Cator Park along the Waterlink, before heading over to Beckenham Place Park. We will then head over to Baring Rd and onto Northbrook Park, and Manor House Gardens, via Manor Lane, before riding up Lee Park to Blackheath Pavilion Cafe, where we will take a break & admire the views. On the way back we will cycle through Ladywell Fields/Ravensbourne River, before ending our ride at Catford.
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.
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.
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.
