Kweens & Kings Do Stave Hill and Onion Garden

Get ready for a fantastic day of exploration at Stave Hill Ecolgocial Park and the Onion Garden with your royal crew! Put on your sneakers, pack your picnic snacks, and join us for a fun-filled experience surrounded by nature. This in-person event promises breathtaking views, laughter, and memorable moments. Whether you're a kween or a king, this adventure is for you!

Where will we start from:

Catford : The route starts at the car park, entrance of Laurence House, SE6 4SW at 8am

The Route:

We will cycle from Catford to Stave Hill via Ladywell Park, Deptford National cycle route 21 to Stave Hill for the views over Canary Wharf and head over London Bridge for the Onion Garden. We will stop and break snacks/drinks and head back via Herne Hill and Dulwich Park to Hornimans where the ride will end.

Who are we:

We ride as a group of people, mainly from a 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, 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 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 should you 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.
