We are an informal group of keen mountain bikers having fun and riding local trails around Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent. We ride most Saturdays mornings at 8am, plus mid-week rides during the summer. If you would like to join one of our rides or find out more please email kings.hill.mtb.group@gmail.com
Our rides normally begin from Kings Hill in Kent. We are lucky to be surrounded by a brilliant area for mountain biking. Our favourite local trails and areas to ride in are Mereworth Woods, Ightham, Pilgrims Way, North Downs, Oaken Wood and Medway river cycle path. Almost as important is the coffee afterwards often at Costa!
We also sometimes venture further away and cycle at Bedgebury, Surrey Hills and Bike Park Wales.
In the summer we do evening mid-week rides that end at the pub.
We are an open group and anyone is welcome to join us. Our rides often last about 2-3 hours along local bridleways. Although the trails are not generally technically challenging, if you have never ridden off road before then we might not be the group for you. Any mountain bike is suitable from 26" hardtail to 29" full suspension. Some routes would be ok on a gravel bike depending on conditions.
Other local riding groups, beginners could try Sofa to Saddle in West Malling, road cyclists contact Kings Hill Wheelers.
