Not me. I'm doing the CTC tri-vet ride. Only comes round once every three years so don't want to miss it. @ianrauk and @Trickedem are coming along too. But not @martint235 - he's not old enough!!

Very social pootle around London, usually with a breakfast/coffee destination such as the Olympic Park, Ally Pally, Trinity Buoy Wharf, LMNH etc. Maybe a couple of laps of Hyde park first. Conversational pace, modest mileage. Meet at Hyde park Corner at 9.30am, leave after the Horse Guards have passed by, usually all wrapped up around lunchtime. Best to check here before planning to turn up though as meet-ups have been less frequent of late.

Fat Boy's Diner is shut and it looks like it's been shut for over a month. However, if Trinity Buoy Wharf is the coffee stop destination, there's now a Bow Creek Café just about where the previous site of FBD was. Maybe they lost trade to the new café.

That's a shame, but the real shame happened a while back, when the Italian guy who was running Fatboys, sold / handed it over to the hipsters,who didn't really have much clue attitude.
I'll be interested to see what the Bow Creek Café is like.

I had a salami and salad roll. Salami was good but nothing special. I had a reasonable coffee but my brother ordered tea and got a mug of milky water that a teabag had briefly curtseyed into. No hint of a pastrami on rye, I'm afraid. Arty décor, mini garden alongside the lightship was pleasant enough.

I think I'll be there. It's been a while.
How about Island Gardens as a destination? I seem to recall @User10571 mentioning many moons ago that they do a decent Jerk Chicken in the cafe there.
They do. Little West Indian place. Lovely Jamaican Patties too..
However... service.........is........................................................slow.

That's okay, it's the SLR. It's meant to be slow :-)

I believe it has changed hands since I was last there (a while ago).
I haven't sampled the fare of the current owners.

Sounds good is it in Greenwich ? If so could be a trip on the Cable Cars too especially as Fat Boy's is no more.

Can someone tell me about these Sunday rides. How formal/informal or organised are they. What's the aim, can anyone join in etc...like the idea of a jaunt around London.
Cheers....
