I'm looking for some decent long'ish rides in London. Is anyone here in a club or goes solo on rides in the capital out into the surrounding counties? I'm in South-East London so Kent area would seem obvious, but it's always nice to go with others.

    Get up to St Germain cafe on Crystal Palace Parade for about 9:00-9:30 on Sundays and there will be others gathering from assorted clubs for a run out though the suburbs and into the lanes of the North Downs. Usually 70-100 km, but sometimes people are up for a longer jaunt, perhaps over towards Dorking and the hills there. Otherwise they usually head over towards the Sevenoaks area.

    Come and hook up with the best and friendliest club in the south East - Addiscombe Cycling Club. Meet at Coulsdon South Station at 9.15am every saturdays - four/five different groups from beginners, intermidiate to racing groups. www.addiscombe.org/members/phpBB2/index.php

    Sorry for the slow response. I'm in Southwark.

    Witcomb cycles in Deptford have a few runs too I believe, details on their website.
    I\'m not doing laps, I\'m looking for the way out.
