- Bromley Bike Company

As of February 2010 we will be once again running our popular shop rides. There will be a ride on the last Sunday of every month based around one of three locations. The first ride will be at Peaslake, Surrey, the second at Bedgebury Forest in Kent and the third somewhere on the South Downs. We'll then repeat in the same order. The rides are free, all we ask is you stick to the rules and treat it as an ideal way to get out on your mountain bike and meet like minded riders. Keep an eye on our website for updates as we'll have full dates and directions posted soon. Don't forget to keep the dates free!

Sunday 26th June 2011 Pitch hill ride in the Surrey Hills.

Our next ride is going to be our Pitch hill ride in the Surrey Hills. We will be setting off from the sandy car park at 10:30am prompt.

Where: Holmbury Hill and Pitch Hill. This area offers fantastic technical singletrack with both natural and man made trails. The rides can vary from 12-35 miles and are ideal for intermediate and expert riders. If you can handle roots, mud and varied terrain then you'll love this techy ride. If you're new to the sport or a timid rider then it may not be for you. Click here for location Click here for ride video
	Bedgebury Forest. Bedgebury Pinetum has a purpose built 9 mile singletrack route ideally suited to beginner mountain bikers and a favourite with the ladies. If you've only ridden a few times or are new to the sport then this is an ideal starting point. The route can be tailored to suit the needs of the group with options to ride anywhere between 5 to 18 miles. Parking here does cost so don't forget Ł8.00 in coins.

The South Downs. Recently upgraded to a national park the South Downs offers classic XC riding. The rides can vary from 15-35 miles and are ideal for all abilities, as long as you don't mind long climbs. In the Spring months or wet weather it's hard work, in the summer it's a lot easier going and offers relaxing riding with great views.

When:

The rides will take place on the last Sunday of every month starting 30th Jan. We will meet up in the car park shown on the street map links above.

How:

Simply make your way to the meeting point of the ride marked on the map for the advertised start time
and ride. If you don't spot your guides (right) then make your way to the trail head but we'll make it easy to find us.
We will start bang on time so arrive with enough time to unpack etc. as it's unfair on everyone else if we have to wait around.

The Rules

There are only a few rules so please stick to them.
1.You will need a mountain bike, not a hybrid, town bike or folder.
2.You will need a helmet. No helmet, no ride.
3.Be self sufficient, bring everything you may need as if you're riding on you own.
4.We will ride as fast as the slowest rider. If you're at the back don't worry as no one will leave you behind.
5.Rain. If it's raining hard then it's probably off. If not sure check this page as we'll update it with the latest news.

If you have any questions just ring the shop on
020 84604852 and ask for Howard or Joe.
