Our Rides

Road: We currently ride out each Tuesday evening between Spring and Autumn, meeting at Beckenham Sports Club, Foxgrove Road, Beckenham, departing at 7.15pm. We run a variety of routes and groups of varying abilities as shown below. Take a look at our Strava page for some of our routes, or the examples further down this page.

We try to get back to the Club house after the ride for a few drinks.

The Shooters Club run is a night ride that we sometimes do in the Wiinter and is a street lamp lit route through Blackheath, Shooters Hill, Chislehurst looping from Beckenham Sports Club

Weekend Rides

We also have long weekend rides, mainly between Spring and Autumn, alternating between Saturdays and Sundays and leaving from Beckenham Sports Club at around 8:00am.

These tend to be approximately 80k but pretty much always include coffee and cake! We sometime do 100k plus routes to somewhere like Yalding and back or a coast ride down to a seaside town such as Whitstable followed by fish and chips and a few drinks and then a train back.
