SUNDAY 17th MAY at 9am:
The Coy Carp Caper is one of those summer routes where near the end of the ride we stop at the beer garden, for coffee, beer or lunch and have a proper social chat .. before riding the last bit home. Hosted by the wonderful Coy Carp who are also one of our Tour de Ricky sponsors.
We split into different speed groups on the road, depending on how many people are riding, so it’s flexible and tailored to riders’ needs. The slowest group will generally wait for the slowest rider (or split into sub groups) but you should be able to manage 30kph on flat stretches with an average speed of around 22kph over the distance. Faster groups will be more speedy of course.
GROUP RIDING: If you are new to club riding, West London Cycling is a great club to get into it with. Before you start, why not learn a few of cycling’s protocols and etiquettes? It’ll help you slot in and feel at home from the get-go!

BUT FIRST… It’s the Friday Night Ride!
FOR THE ENLIGHTENED ILLUMINATI …..Our annual West London Cycling Night Ride, has a specially designed route created to suit a night ride.
Plus another coveted and collectible West London Cycling Finisher’s Roundel for your collection will be available.
You can catch the train back after breakfast in Brighton. No need to book the train in advance, we tend to go from Brighton to Farringdon and then back to West London on either the Metropolitan Line or Elizabeth Line.
Now in its 4th year, the specially designed route has proved popular and works well for a night time ride … just make sure you have a decent front light and a foldable jacket or gilet to put on during the darkness for warmth and visibility. Many first timers have been surprised at how much fun a well designed night ride can be.
Midnight start on Friday / Saturday 15th May from Hillingdon Station (UB10 9NR)
