Hi all I’m doing 5000km trip to Erbil - Iraq, Ian currently in Serbia done 1700 km, you can follow me on instagram and Facebook Road2Erbil

Be afraid. Be very afraid. We'll be visiting some of London's most haunted places to hear tales of misery and grief. If we're really lucky (or unlucky) we might meet a ghost or two along the way. We'll most likely be heading north (so there will be a hill) then east. The route will be...

Hi there, Hope everyone is well. I am doing ridelondon46 for first time. All the cycling training I've done is on the London velopark outdoor track which on each laps has a few decent hills and is quite up and down. In terms of difficulty, is it fair to say that say 30miles on this track...

I am delighted to announce a FNRTTC to a brand new destination! which will be going through some of the finest Sussex countryside. At over 70 miles, it will be one of our longer rides and also one of our hilliest. So may not appeal to everyone. We'll escape London via Dulwich and Crystal...

I mapped out a route from London to Shoreham mostly following the Downs link trail. I ride it last weekend and it's a belter! A lot of it is "off road", but we're talking cinder track rather than muddy fields here and I was fine on 28c road tyres. I'd really like to ride it again in company and...

A relaxed Ride for Food through some pretty villages to the best cafe in Essex (unlicenced, BYO). 70km, one bit of gravel, one short hill. Return options are 16k to Sawbridgeworth or 35k to Shenfield. Meet at Hyde Park Corner (by the Royal Artillery Memorial) at 9.30am, leaving as soon as the...

To work in shop. NW3 I don't know any details but can put you in touch.

A gentle tour around town to explore some of London's more interesting and unusual street furniture. With a little bit of history thrown in. Think bollards, lamp posts and the like. Social pace, everyone welcome. Quiet roads where possible, although it's not always possible to avoid traffic...

Morning All. There is an article on the BBC site https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48125731 saying that the London Marathon organisers had a pace maker running the race in 7.5 hours in order to make the race more inclusive. Those going at that pace were apparently insulted for going...

Registration for the Friday Night Ride to the Coast, Maldon edition on Friday night 24th May is now open. A gentle trip out on quiet cyclewàys to Cheshunt (luxe comfort stop) then soon into the dark lanes up past The Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green, before we turn on to an exposed ridge...

Hi Folks, I am 62 year old male planning to cycle from London to Erbil in Iraq on 1st august 2019, I am gathering information and tips about the routes, camping as much as I can, any body interested, welcome to join me all the way or part of the route, I have allocated 3 month to do the trip...

This is a follow on to the ghost sign tour we did in 2015 which mainly toured some of the better ghost signs south of the river. This time, we head north - scary for some, comforting like a well worn saddle for others. But well worth it for some excellent pieces of history. Subject to final...

Where do u guys wash ur bike?

An easy ride around town in the best traditions of the Sunday London Ride, this time with ‘death’ as our theme. Led by the inimitable @Trickedem. Subject to recce, the route will be around 15 miles, and finishes at Alexandra Palace. I expect us to be there around 1.30pm. Easy conversational...

Hi all, My brother in law and I have signed up for London to Brighton with BHF. It's our first long distance cycle event. We are planning to get out and to do some longer rides (I currently ride about 6 miles a day, he's doing about the same). Probably a 15 mile ride first and then a 25 mile...

This FFS...

Hello all! My 2nd duathlon of the year went well on Sunday! Here are some photos! It was WARM! I had my heaviest base layer on - definitely didn't need it! The distances were 1 Mile Run/10 Mile Bike/1 Mile Run. I did a 1 mile pb of 11:31 for the first mile run and was slow, but strong up...

There is a consultation going on about a new cycle route in this part of west London. The details are here---www.tfl.gov/kew/duke

Is anyone going to the London Bike show in March if so what do people go for/ look for?

Potter round the parks, about 35km through unknown (to me) South London, finishing at The Dulwich Clock Cafe. Easy 10km back to town. No hills, some gentle cycleways. Meet at Hyde Park Corner (by the Royal Artillery Memorial) at 9.30am, leaving as soon as the Horse Guards have passed (usually...

We're launching our 2019 season with something a little different, and quite a lot special. @Redlight of this parish is organising a treasure hunt around our Great City. This will be on 10 March, starting at 9.30am from our usual start point in front of the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park...

Word on the street is the death cage cabbies are flooding this consultation with responses to retain their vice grip over the capitals road network. You can respond at https://www.citystreets.london/proposals/key-proposals ; please do and share with your friends, as this is probably the most...

Hello guys - I have not been online for ages! However, I have still being doing the odd competition here and there, namely just trail runs with the dog! I had really signed off of Duathlon's after the Mid-Week series at my usual venue had finished in September. However, a friend of mine shared...

You can spend £95 and sit on an open top Routemaster bus Or you could cycle down with the cars according to Bonhams the cars leave Hyde park between 7.00am and 8.30am Meeting point East Croydon station Brunch at Crawley Fish & chips on the beach

This ride replaces the planned Death Ride which we're postponing to 2019 due to @Trickedem being incapacitated. The idea is a gentle meander around town stopping at a dozen or so London Pubs that have an interesting history, an odd name, or that are just plain unusual. Before you ask, we...

Hello, After experieces/advice on the above. Changed my commute route to 4 miles road and 9 miles good surface towpath each way, doing it on an ancient Carrera Fury, but looking at getting the above as a replacement. Was looking at a Whyte Portobello plus but after test riding it they're an odd...

Social pace, a bit faster than the themed rides. Out through suburban greenery to St Albans, then round to lunch at Potters Bar. About 40 miles, couple of spikes but otherwise rolling, with some gentle greenway. Meet at Hyde Park Corner (by the Royal Artillery Memorial) at 9.30am, leaving as...

Hi guys, if you're interested I have created another 4k scenery video of my bike trip from London to Roscoff in Brittany, France. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO9mOvrcW7Y The route went via London, Reading, Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, St Malo, St Breuic, Lannion, Moralix...

Hello, I've changed my commute from 11 mile each way road to 13 mile each way mostly on good quality towpath and 3-5 miles hideous city streets after several near death experiences. The road bike has taken a well earned rest and my ancient Carrera Fury mtb, shod in schwalbe city jets has stepped...
