felt-tip Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 getting back on the old bike after a bit of a lay-off and was looking at getting down to the North Downs. The A233 from Bromley looks like a decent way, giong past Biggin Hill and into Westerham but does anyone have any other nice routes into kent / surrey?thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10066-good-road-cycling-routes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsebox Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I think Boneyard (poster on here) did some trips down to the north downs with other riders...hang on, do you mean motorbike?

Horsebox Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 In that case Boneyard might be able to help you. I kept meaning to join them but could never make the dates they'd arranged.What bike is it - road/mountain? And what level/ type of riding would you be doing?

Sandperson Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've pointed someone else in this direction recently but have a look on the Dulwich Paragon site:Dulwich ParagonClick on "Club Rides" in the left hand column and then "Saturday Ride" there's a link to a map there with a 30 odd miler out into Kent from CP.nice route, couple of good hills, nice countryside.

felt-tip Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks Sandperson that is really useful. 30 miles is the kind of distance Im looking at. Might pop along once Ive got my fitness up.And Horsebox - VERY tempted, but with starting prices at over a grand....

Sandperson Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 You don't need to get your fitness up. The saturday rides are designed for everyone, there are several groups split according to ability. Noone gets dropped (even if you do there are points where we re-group and ride leaders always look out for new people) and we are a friendly bunch who will help out in any way we can. I've seen people of all ages and on all sorts of nikes turn up for the sat morning ride. Give it a go.

jollybaby Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Mr JB heads out to Boxhill in Surrey whenever he gets the chance - though think that may be at bit further than a 30 mile round trip Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/10066-good-road-cycling-routes/#findComment-298461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
