Couch to 10K Charity Cycle

Thinking about getting back in the saddle, but not sure where to start? Join us for a beginner-friendly, female-forward 10km charity cycle along the beautiful River Wandle corridor!

Whether your bike has been gathering dust in the shed or you’re looking for a relaxed, welcoming group ride, this event is all about fun over speed. We’ll be riding at the pace of the slowest rider—no one gets left behind!

We’ll roll out from Wandle Park in Croydon, head along smooth, paved sections parallel to the Wandle Trail, and make our way to Wandle Park in Colliers Wood for a breather before returning back.

• Female-Forward & Beginner Friendly: Designed specifically to help women feel safe, supported, and confident on two wheels.
• Kids 10+ Welcome: Bring your younger riders along for a healthy, fun family morning out! (Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult).
• Road Bike Friendly: We’ve picked a smooth, 100% paved route—so standard road bikes and narrow tires are completely fine!
• Cycle for a Good Cause: Raise money for three charities (Donate a Wig, CESO and Music Relief Foundation) while making new local cycling friends. Your entry fee will go towards these three charities and you are welcome to raise funds for them if you wish.

Safety Information:

• Please ensure your bike is road worthy
• Good idea to bring a puncture repair kit
• We'd advise you wear a helmet
• If you want to ride ahead please inform the ride lead and ensure you have a smart phone
