Croydon Midsummer Eve ride to Richmond Hill for sundown social
What better way to celebrate Midsummer Eve than a relaxed, easy-paced cycle ride from Queen’s Gardens to Richmond Park, where we’ll meet up with some other cycling groups in time to watch the sunset.
We’ll be following the Wandle Trail and cycle paths, and taking in the scenery of Mitcham and Wimbledon commons and a variety of other green spaces on the way. Almost the entire route is parks, cycle paths and quiet back streets, there are two very short busy sections. Hybrid, leisure, mountain or gravel bikes are suitable for this route, e-bikes welcome.
The return ride will be after dark so please bring lights – if you don’t feel like doing the full distance (approx 10 miles each way) there is an option to drop out at Wimbledon station where there are trains back to Croydon via Clapham Junction or Tulse Hill. And we recommend bringing something to eat & drink for when you get to Richmond.
