Richmond Park Rouleurs

🚴🍺 Trails N Ales 2026 🍺🚴

A ride that turned out to be rather more trails than ales…

120km of gravel, chalk, woodland singletrack, steep Surrey Hills climbs and enough elevation to keep everyone honest. Starting from Alpkit Kingston, we headed out through the Thames towpaths, North Downs and Surrey Hills before looping back to The Park Brewery.

The route delivered everything from fast gravel tracks and punchy climbs to hidden trails I’d never ridden before. By the end there were tired legs, dusty bikes and some very well-earned beers waiting at the finish.

A huge thank you to Kingston Wheelers for organising a fantastic event in support of the Full Cycle Community Bike Project and Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance.

Good ales.

☀️ Spring Bank Holiday on the Jurassic Coast

12 Rouleurs headed down to Dorset for a day of sunshine, sea air, hills and spectacular scenery.

Starting in Wareham, we crossed on the Studland chain ferry, climbed through the Purbeck Hills, rolled past the iconic ruins of Corfe Castle, followed the Jurassic Coast, threaded our way through a packed Bournemouth seafront in 34°C heat, and then headed back through the edge of the New Forest to Brockenhurst.

A proper endurance day rather than a fast one — plenty of climbing, plenty of laughs, and plenty of ice creams, coffee stops and cold drinks along the way.

Thanks to everyone who made it such a great day out.

Our Medal Heroes! Mallorca 312 • 2026 🇪🇸☀️🚴‍♂️

Huge congratulations to all the RPR riders who took on the Mallorca 312 this year.

Big climbs, hot roads, early starts, tired legs, mechanicals, nerves, laughter, gels, coffee stops and that final run into Playa de Muro under the finish gantry.

Whether you rode the full 312, the 225 or the 167 — every single distance is a serious achievement in Mallorca heat and terrain.

What makes these trips special isn’t just the riding.
It’s the people:

* helping each other through rough patches
* waiting at cafés
* sharing pumps, food and encouragement
* post-ride beers
* sunburnt terrace debriefs
* and the quiet satisfaction of getting it done together.

Some seriously strong rides from the Rouleurs this year and brilliant to see so many medals coming home to London. 🥇

Recover well everyone.
Same time next year? 😉

A strong Bank Holiday weekend for RPR 🚴‍♂️

Great to see multiple rides out across the groups, from Ripley loops through to Edenbridge and Oxted runs. Good numbers, good pace, and plenty of miles banked.

What stood out most was the mix — different groups, different speeds, all rolling out and making it happen. That’s what keeps the club working.

Sun on the back (mostly), solid efforts all round, and a few well-earned café stops along the way.

Simple stuff really. Turn up, ride, share the road, enjoy it. 👍

Another wonderful week of cycling in the Andalusian sunshine. ☀️
Quiet roads, long climbs, good company, and plenty of tapas.
A proper RPR adventure — already looking forward to the next one. 🇪🇸🚴‍♀️

RPR ladies are enjoying the annual summer picnic on Richmond Hill.
The club’s female cyclists love getting together for social events that don’t include lycra!

🚴‍♂️ RPR Ride to H’artisan Café, Walgrave 🚴‍♀️
On Sunday we set out on a steady 108km spin to the excellent in Walgrave – proudly run by one of our former RPR members.

Good roads, fine company, and coffee and cake well worth the effort. A proper club outing.

☀️ Brighton & Return with the RPR 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️
On Sunday 11th August, twenty-seven of us set off for the seaside, blessed with a day of proper summer sunshine. A few wisely opted for the train home… while others took on the full 185km round trip.

A fine day out, good company, and just enough effort to make the pint at the end taste all the better. 🍺

🎉 Liga’s Birthday Bikepacking Bash! 🚴‍♀️🎂
This weekend we rolled out for an epic RPR birthday adventure to Eastbourne – 130km down to the coast, beach drinks, and a big night out 🍻🌊🕺

Next morning? You guessed it – 130km back to London 💪
Sun, climbs, seaside vibes, and the best company – a truly fab weekend on two wheels.

Happy Birthday, Liga! 🥳❤️

🚴‍♀️ Another epic RPR weekend! 💥
This time we hit the Surrey Hills and made our way out towards Windsor, racking up the miles and the smiles.

📍 Coldharbour Climb served up both pain and pride — check the shot of Joe and her crew absolutely bossing it at the top! 🔥👏

Big hills, long roads, great company — classic RPR vibes all the way.
