Stubbs was 58, and treasurer of Catford CC, which he joined in 1969. He was a founder member of Audax UK and completed the 1,200 kilometre Paris-Brest-Paris.
He was an enthusiastic worker for West Kent DA of the CTC, the Kent Cycling Association and the Meridian CC.
Bryan Stout, hon. general secretary of Catford CC, said, "Peter's grieving comrades are shocked that such an active member's life should be cut short in this way. They have a lost a dear friend and companion and their thoughts are with his wife Marion, and his children at this tragic time."
