About us

Social bike rides for people who like riding but don’t want the pressure of serious club cycling.

Routes are planned in advance and shared with riders, so you can download them, follow the route and ride at a pace that suits you.

Expect organised routes, coffee stops, pub stops, good people and proper days out on the bike.

Where possible, we’ll team up with local cafés, pubs, breweries and restaurants along the way to create recommended stops and rider perks.

Suitable for hybrids, gravel bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes.

Not a race. Not timed. Not for people trying to prove a point on Strava.

First event: Pedals & Pints Guildford/Shalford to Brighton via the Downs Link.

£12.50

Pedals & Pints Downs Link

Snooty Fox Cafe Guildord, 3–5 King’s Road, Shalford, Guildford, Surrey, GU4 8JU, Guildford, GB

A relaxed ride-at-your-own-pace social cycling event from the Downs Link towards Brighton, with a proper pub stop built in.
This is the first Pedals & Pints ride a cycling event for people who like getting out on the bike but don’t want the pressure of a full-on club ride.
The route follows the Downs Link, an old railway line that links Surrey and Sussex. It’s mostly traffic-free, scenic and social, with a mix of gravel paths, woodland tracks and quiet sections.
The plan is simple: follow the route at your own pace, meet at key stops along the way, then finish with a drink and a chat.
This is not a race. It’s not about Strava segments, expensive kit or cycling egos. It’s about bikes, decent people and enjoying the ride.
You’ll need:
A gravel bike, mountain bike, hybrid or suitable e-bike
A helmet
Water
A spare inner tube or repair kit
Weather-appropriate clothing
Money/card for food and drinks
A lock if you want one for the pub stop
Pace:
This is a ride-at-your-own-pace event. Some people may ride quicker, others may take it steadier. The aim is not to keep everyone bunched together — it’s to enjoy the route, meet at planned stops, and finish together for a drink.
Ticket price:
£12.50 per rider
This helps keep the event organised properly and gives everyone a confirmed place on the ride.
Final route details, meeting point and pub stop information will be shared with confirmed attendees before the event.
