FORTHCOMING RIDES
All PHC rides are free and there is no need to book or tell us you are coming - just read the FAQ page and then simply turn up. Please note that rides will depart at the stated time so try to arrive 15 minutes before. Call the ride leader if you are late and we'll tell you where to catch us up, if at all possible. All full day rides are approximately 30 miles long unless stated otherwise. Join the email list to keep up to date with new rides or last minute changes.
Not got time for a full day ride? Try our First Saturday Of The Month half day rides from Pollards Hill or the monthly slower 3rd Saturday of the month afternoon rides from Beddington Park. We also do occasional midweek rides, send an email to mark [at] pollardshillcyclists.org.uk if you would like to be added to the separate midweek list.

| RIDE NAME | The Yew Tree Way |
| DESCRIPTION | The Yew Tree in question is an amazing tree, 4000 years old. We'll stop briefly to see it but this is an ambitious ride for the winter months. There's a lovely garden centre cafe in the morning and a proper village pub for lunch. The afternoon visits the National Trust village of Chiddingstone for a proper afternoon teastop. It's an early start to make the most of the daylight hours as we don't want to be out in the countryside when it gets dark. |

| RIDE NAME | Olympic Ride Number Two |
| DESCRIPTION | Continuing the monthly series of Olympic rides, we'll pass by Horse Guards which will host the beach volleyball before picking up the South Bank to take us to the cafe in Southwark Park. Hopefully there'll be limited traffic as we duck under the river in the Rotherhithe tunnel, an truly unique experience for cyclists (there's a safe way to do this!). The Olympic Park will be clearly visible from the waterways as we head up to the Walthamstow Marshes for lunch at the trusty Ferry Inn before a series of canals lead us back to Victoria. |
