Get Ready for Kweens and Kings Do The Three Peaks of Lewisham!

Join us in person for a fun-filled adventure as we tackle the iconic Three Peaks right here in Lewisham. Whether you’re a Kween, a King, or just up for a good time, this event is all about community, laughs, and conquering those small peaks together. We are rolling for Joy, embracing life in the outdoors. We have left a space for you! Don’t miss out on this epic day of friendship, fresh air, and good vibes. Prepare your bike, cycle shoes, bring your energy, and let’s make memories!

Where will we start from:

The route starts at the car park, entrance of Halfords, SE6 4NU at 9.30am (please keep an eye on any updates with the weather, as we may need to reschedule and will update you).

The Route:

For our second ride of 2026, we intend to continue with the easy/leisurely pace.

The three Peaks of Lewisham seem to provide opportunities for good views over London and beyond, connecting with wildlife, trees, shrubbery and rivers.

The three Peaks are :

Hilly Fields

One Tree Hill

Blythe Hill Fields

From Catford Bridge we will head for Hilly Fields and try to find the bowling green gate, which was open in 1906, and was named after Sir Francis Drake, who was knighted in Deptford. Drake made his money from the slave trade. Don't worry if you find yourself getting off your bike and walking on any of these short peaks. We wil always wait at the top. These are good ways to start to practice and develop hill climbs.

For our second peak - One Tree Hill we head over to the essential part of Honor Oak's landscape (And we may take in, a part of Honor Park). Our Final stop will be Blythe Hill before we roll back to Catford Bridge to end the ride. (This ride is only 5 miles)

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:

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, 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:

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.
