Kweens and Kings Cycle Group To: Foots Cray Meadows Sun 24th May 2026

Where will we start from:

The route starts at the car park, entrance of Laurence House, SE6 4RU at 8.30am

The Route:

As the mornings get darker and the nights draw in earlier, we want to make the most of the weather while we still can.

Foots Cray Meadows is an area of parkland and woodlands with streams, which we have visited before. It has the famous Five Arches Bridge. This is worthy of another visit and great for unspoilt photo opportunities too.

On the way back we will pass by Eltham/Eltham palace, and Sidcup before arriving at the meadows

As this is a circular route, we will return via Mottingham, Chinbrook, Grove Park, Baring Road and Sandhurst Road into Catford where the ride will end.

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.
