GRAVEL CYCLING CLUB
Ahoy gravelistas!
Join Chevaliers cycling club for adventures on the best gravel routes in south west London, Surrey and beyond.
As we’re based in Kingston upon Thames, in Greater London, some may wonder whether we have many suitable options on our doorstep; but you just need to know where to look, and we’ve done the looking for you! We have a wealth of knowledge of local trails, tracks, bridleways, towpaths, forests, lanes and quiet roads, and we’re itching to share it with you.
Friday Evening Gravel Summer Series
WHEN 6pm Fridays May to October.
WHERE Starting in Kingston, ending in Esher’s Taproom for optional post-ride refreshments. Carefully curated routes celebrating the very best trails and hidden gems in the local area, led by experienced ride leaders.
WHO Multiple groups to cater for different preferences in pace and route, because some like their FridEGSS spicy🌶️, and some less so.
WHAT Inclusive, fun, adventurous rides. For the gravel curious, hardened gravelistas, and all in between!
For those with an insatiable appetite for adventure, bikepacking tours are arranged.
Do I need a gravel bike?
Absolutely not. Whilst a modern gravel bike may be the best all-rounder, other bikes will excel on the terrain for which they are specifically designed, and we really like to mix up the surfaces on our routes! With varying levels of endeavour, cyclo-cross, mountain bikes, road bikes and hybrids are all suitable for our rides. Whatever you bring to the party, you’ll want it clad in at least 32mm tyres.
Join the revolution with Che Graveliers, fighting for freedom from traffic and the same old roads!
