CR0 1GY
A local 18 mile ride we made last October. It loops out and back to Queens Gardens to a big community cafe in Sydenham that allows our bikes inside. Leo’s Vegan & Vegetarian has a good selection of lunch food at reasonable prices.
Our route takes us through South Norwood Country Park via the railway park and Ashburton Park and on to Beckenham Place Park where we ride some of its woodland trails. Then it’s on to Sydenham for a refreshment break. On the second half we return with a second visit to South Norwood Country Park.
Leaving from Queens Gardens CR0 1GY Back there by 2pm.
Mostly on tarmac. Road bikes will cope with the park surfaces if they have 28mm tires. Please bring a spare inner tube. Bring a bottle of water too, don’t get dehydrated on the ride.
