Following last year's success, I will be running my Thames Path Meander as an overnight ride again this year.
Last year's threads are here and at the other place.
The details:
* Depart 23:00 from Southwark Needle, south end of London Bridge.
* Standard Thames Path Meander route, with some diversions due to closed parks, finish near Tower of London; 50km, more or less.
* Along the way I will regale/bore (delete as appropriate) with historical trivia.
* We'll stop atWoolwich Te5co* for threeses; or BYO sustenance, both liquid and solid. *No longer 24/7, alternatives being explored.
* Breakfast will most likely be at Hamilton Hall, Liverpool Street Station.
* It's a silly ride, so feel free to get in the spirit. Bike decoration is encouraged; fortified beverages will not be frowned upon.
* If you employ flashing front/rear lights on the ride you will end up in the Thames - you're bike will be spared if I happen to like it.
* A good front light is vital. Many stretches are unlit and surfaces can be less than perfect.
* If you commit to doing the ride, please send me your mobile number via PM; I will reciprocate.
* IMPORTANT: The Woolwich ferry does not operate overnight so we will use the tunnel. There is no guarantee either/both lifts will be operational, necessitating the use of stairs (S: _?_; N: 126). Keep this in mind when choosing your steed.
