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. THIS RIDE IS FLAT AND AT A EASY GOING PACE. HOWEVER AS SOME OF THE PATH IS GRAVELLY, RECOMMEND HYBRID OR MOUNTAIN BIKES. We are rolling for Joy, embracing life in the outdoors. We have left a space for you! (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.

We are 'Rolling for Joy', 'Embracing life in the outdoors', 'Networking -while we brunch', 'Celebrating our achievements everytime', and 'We have left a space for you to roll with us', so what are you waiting for?

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.
