Join us for the Start-up Founders Richmond Park Bike Ride + Coffee Social!

Get ready to pedal your way through the beautiful Richmond Park with fellow start-up founders. Suitable for founding team members or those considering taking the plunge into the start-up world. This event is all about connecting, networking, riding in a beautiful setting close to central London and having a great time!

Hosted by Ollie Chipp from start-up fundraising specialists Mill Capital. With special guest Andrew Harding, founder of Cycle Strength, online cycling-specific personal training ( https://cyclestrengthpt.com). Ollie and Andy will be taking the tarmac route for this ride but don't let that stop you from taking the gravel trail if that's your thing. For future rides, we may choose the gravel trail to mix it up.

Event Details:

• Dates: The first Monday of the month
• Time: 12.00 - 14.00 - Leaving the cafe at 12.15. We won't be checking emails. If you are late, note we'll be riding clockwise round the outer tarmac route and returning back to the cafe for coffee after lap 1, some may choose to ride a second lap
• Location: Richmond Park, Colicci Cafe, Roehampton Gate
• What to expect: 1-2 low-intensity (Zone 1-2) cycling laps of Richmond Park, meet back at Colicci Cafe for a coffee/bite

Join us for one or two relaxed laps of Richmond Park with a chance to meet, connect and talk all things start-up. Ideally suited to founding team members, or even those considering the plunge into the startup world and want to get some advice from those who are up to their necks!

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting, this bike ride is fine for all levels. We will be aiming for zone 1-2 tempo, so we can still chat on the way around! If you want to blitz it, fine! We'll meet you back at the cafe after for a coffee and maybe a bite.

Enjoy the fresh air, beautiful scenery, and the chance to meet like-minded individuals in the startup community.

After the ride, we'll gather back at the cafe for a coffee, lunch if you wish & casual get-together where you can share your startup stories, exchange ideas, and make valuable connections. Who knows, you might find your next business partner or mentor!

Important: Safety is important. Please ensure you wear a helmet and follow all the park's cycling rules. Remember, it's all about having fun while staying safe! You are responsible for your own safety, this is not a led ride, being safely competent on a bike is a minimum requirement to join. There are a few hills in Richmond Park, one is relatively steep, but it doesn't last long.

So, grab your helmet, pump up those tires, and join us for a fantastic lunch break with cycling, networking, and fun at the Startup Richmond Park Bike Ride Social.

See you there!
