Croydon loop through Banstead Downs

A short loop south to Banstead then back via Carshalton. This week’s ride is on Saturday and is shorter than usual. It does feature plentiful earth trails in woods and the Common of Banstead. We will stop for refreshments in Carshalton.

Start at 10am at Queens Gardens CR0 1GY and expect to be back there by 1:45pm.

This ride is 16.5 miles. There is some climb, totalling 650ft/200m. Folding bikes are ok. Road bikes with 28mm tyres are ok with enough tyre pressure for the bumps.

Bring a water bottle! Please bring a spare inner tube.

Please note this ride by Croydon Social Cycling Group is for those aged 16 or over only.
