Bike ride - Croydon loop through Little Woodcote, Banstead Downs, Carshalton
Details
Join us for some leisurely rides starting from central Croydon at Queens Gardens CR0 1GY on Saturday or Sunday, weather dependent.
You will need to have a bike and appropriate gear but these rides are mixed ability and we welcome new riders as well as the more experienced. Adults only.
The next ride is a short loop south to Banstead then back to the Croydon starting point via Carshalton. This ride is on Saturday and is shorter than usual for the group. It does feature plentiful earth trails in woods and Banstead Common. We will stop for refreshments in Carshalton Grove’s cafe where you can keep your bike close.
Start at 10am at Queens Gardens CR0 1GY and expect to be back there by 1:45pm.
This ride is 16.5 miles. There is some climb, totalling 650ft/200m. Folding bikes are ok. Road bikes with 28mm tyres are ok with enough tyre pressure for the bumps. What characterises this ride, and this is typical of the group’s rides, is beautiful off road experiences connected by quiet streets.
Bring a water bottle! Please bring a spare inner tube.
Please note this ride is for those aged 16 or over only.
