Where are we going :
We will be doing the Tilbury Docks and Forte.
Where will we start from:
Lewisham Clock Tower: SE13 5AX. Please cancel your ticket in advance if you are unable to attend.
The Route:
We will cycle towards Belmont Hill and ride to Woolwich Ferry, taking the quickest route on wheels. We will catch the Woolwich Ferry and cross to the North Pier, where we will disembark and cycle to Rainham/Tilbury Docks, to the site where the Windrush docked. Embrace any photo opportunities to share and on to Tilbury Forte. We will take a Tea/Coffee break here or in the surrounding areas. For the return journey, we will coast to Tilbury Town Station and catch a Train to Liverpool St. You can get your connecting train/tube, to your desired home location.
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 aim to start when the weather is improving this could be as early as January or February. But sometimes it could be as late as 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. 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.
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.
