Faster paced than the themed Sunday London Rides, with Rochester as our destination. That would make it a ride of around 40 miles. Leave HPC at 09.45am as normal, aiming to arrive between 1 and 1.30pm. Some could ride back, some could get the train. Hands up if you're interested. Biblical...

Join us for our final themed ride of 2018. 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...

Hi people, if your interested I've just finished editing a scenery video of my London to York bike ride, that I completed last month. The route went via; Bedford, Peterborough, Lincoln, Hull and York. The bicycle adventure was 5 days - I didn't go at the fastest pace but all in all was a nice...

There's a fair few cyclists...

Good afternoon folks, I've got to go to Aylesham from London and thought I'd make a day of it and cycle there. Does anyone have any GPX routes to there they could share please? Alternatively any good routes from London out to Canterbury/Dover/Deal or any other nearby places that I can look at...

I used to run these three or four times a year but got out of the habit. Leave Oxford station at midnight and ride to Cafe Paolo in Acton for breakfast. Cafe opens at 0530 and we're generally there for 0615. Pit stop at M40 services, unless I find someone to knock up at 3am (it's possible...)...

I thought it would be nice to meet up again for some post season drinks. Location to be confirmed after a recce.

Ross is unavailable, so I'm offering a jaunt North - Along the wonderful/hated Enfield cycleway and the Lee Valley to late breakfast by the river in Broxbourne (35k). Loop round the Lee Valley Park, then back along the towpath to Stratford for liquid refreshment (70k). EDIT: And then on to watch...

A short, conversational-paced ride around central London during which we'll pass each of the Churches in the famous nursery rhyme - although we will use the earlier version of the rhyme which has more destinations in it. With a little bit of history thrown in. Subject to recce, the route will...

Hi All! Would you please tell me which bike would will be better as commuter? Both around 600£ at the moment. https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/EBPXFMSLA1/planet-x-full-monty-sl-apex-1-bike https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/EBPXLONRDA1/planet-x-london-road-apex-1-bike

Ever wondered about the origin of some of London’s street names? This edition of the Sunday London Ride will potter around central London looking at some of the odder street names and their origin. Like all the London Rides I organise, we will travel at conversational pace, on quiet roads...

We used to do these slightly longer rides for food. I thought it might be nice to resurrect them. So, anyone interested in doing something on Sunday 3rd August? My proposal would be to take a scenic route down to the Olympic Mountain Bike venue at Hadleigh in Essex, which has a cafe and plenty...

I live in the North of England, as does everyone I know (well almost). So when someone I know had a business trip to London they came back telling me tales about the nutters on bikes and the amazing bike shops everywhere. Listening to the tales of all the bike shops makes me think it has...

Hi all, can anyone recommend a route from Luton into central London avoiding the motorway style dual carriageways! Many thanks!

Has anyone any recent experience of picking a bike up from Eurostar at London St Pancras? The bike is going on fully assembled (space is booked) so that I don't have to faff about putting it back together in London before an onward train. Is damage a real possibility? What's the procedure if...

I've posted this here as it will get the most views . There have been whispers of a velodrome being built inside the existing cycle track at Hillingdon . I found out last week that planning permission had been granted last year and i'm amazed that there is no publicity about it . The only thing...

Empty except for a printout of a recipe for mushroom paella and a waitrose receipt, I decided to leave it where I found it as it's the best chance the owner has of recovering it if they retrace their steps, but removed it from the road. Just posting here in case the owner is a member. P...

We used to do these slightly longer rides for food. I thought it might be nice to resurrect them. So, anyone interested in doing something on Sunday 15th July? My proposal would be to take a scenic route down to the Olympic Mountain Bike venue at Hadleigh in Essex, which has a cafe and...

A gentle tour in the best traditions of the Sunday London Ride around some of the places in our great city which have a (mostly) dead pop star connection. It will be led by @Nick Saddlesore of this parish. The route is around 20 miles. Some upness. A very short but steep walk. And a park. Meet...

So the question is how and where do I mount my Zombie Knife ? Obviously it needs to be quick release; perhaps beside the bottle cage ? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/shocking-moment-furious-cyclist-pulls-massive-zombie-knife-on-car-in-south-london-a3852896.html

One of the original Friday Night Ride to the Coast destinations. We can hope the weather will be good, its the summer! Our half way stop is the superb 1st Burstow scouts “hut” in Horley - which we call ‘The Edifice’ because it’s magnificent. Ditchling Beacon. Then we’ll head down into...

Hi again all...Am looking at the myriad of options for getting my bike back to London from Stuttgart at the end of my tour in August, and am overwhelmed with info and want some stories/ideas/tips. The last day i'll have is fri 3rd of August, and i'll be back at work in London at 8am on sat 4th...

Suppose a person was looking at commuting to East Croydon, usually on the train out of Victoria. Suppose further that the person, familiar with the problems of Southern Railways, fully expected the train to be occasionally unreliable, and wished to have a backup, using the Brompton that the...

A trivia tour around the Greatest City in the world, taking in some less well known places and discovering some things you probably didn't know. Quite interesting really. Conversational pace, lycra optional. The route will be a maximum of 20 miles. Meet at Hyde Park Corner (by the Royal...

Hi all :) Am trying to do some planning for a possible bike ride this summer, from East London to Eindhoven, then on to Stuttgart. Well, actually 60kms east of Stuttgart but no one will have heard of it! I'm going to a gig in Eindhoven hence the 'via Eindhoven' part. I'd be able to leave...

Somewhere new: London to Maldon on Friday, May 18 A new leader: Nick ‘Saddlesore’ We'll head north through London along the path of the New River, then out into the 'burbs along the Lea Valley, with a brief comfort stop at Cheshunt (25km). You'll smell the country air as we cross the Rye Lane...

When you consider that in the early 1900s times for men were 3 hours 30 minutes(ish).......record is now approx 2 hours 2 minutes. OK distances were not accurate early on but the improvement is staggering. Today in the London heat the time was approx 2 hours 5 mins. At my best I could only...

A ride some cyclechat friends have done in the past and might want to do again following the same route as the November L to B vintage car run route here; no Ditchling beacon involved; tea/coffee/ breakfast stop in Crawley. http://www.hcvs.co.uk/images/Brighton%202018%20route.jpg The...

Hi I'm now a member of a new cycle club, Welsh Valleys Cycles, and we are riding the above for charity in August this year. I've been given the route planning job.... Looked at a few on line suggestions, but I'd rather the advice from "the horses mouth" regarding routes Any suggestions
