South London
2nd August 2008
Some of the finest off-road sections close to London!
We will take in a mixture of some short sections of fire roads and country lanes to link up some excellent pieces of fast single-track and technical sections in and around Holmbury Hill, Peaslake and Leith Hill.
This will be a long ride and you should have some experience in mountain biking.
To book
Please email / telephone to register your interest for a particular ride and indicate whether you will be on your own or bringing any friends.
Start times for all our day rides are at 9 am. The rides usually last for up to 5 hours, taking in a pub lunch or picnic on the way.
A charge of £10 will be collected at the start of the ride; for this Red Spokes will provide a guided ride (normally 2 guides, with first aid), a map of the ride and a bike mechanic. You will, of course, have the opportunity to meet fellow cyclists, with a good mixture of people who are considering their first Red Spokes tour, those who have been on one or more Red Spokes tours before and those who simply fancy joining fellow cyclists for a social ride!
