FINALLY!!
Bleak Mid Winter CC Ride - London Sat 24th Jan.
Start 10am @ The London Eye.
This ride is approx 30 miles, fairly sedate and with ample opportunity for tea & cake stops! I'm going for the 'mobile gathering' feel rather than mile munching so riders of all abilities will be comfortable.
Good clear weather is a must so please bring some.
The aim is to follow the Thames path from Waterloo to Greenwich.
This isn't strictly a cycle route so we need to be nice to peds, we will have to deviate from the river to cross a couple of roads and there may be a couple of bits where bikes will need to be carried.
(Think of it as 'My First Triatholon', but without the swimming or the race bits.
)
From Greenwhich we'll have a stretch of road riding to Crystal Palace Park, visit the dinosaurs and sphinxes if we so wish and then head up and over the hill for a sprint down to Brockwell Park in Brixton.
This then starts the return stretch via Clapham Common(for a pint?), Battersea Park and returning along the Chelsea Embankment and Westminster, back to Waterloo.
There are other bits that can be added so if the weather is on our side and legs are willing we can extend the ride(eg. You can get a cup of tea at the Thames Barrier!
).
Also, if any of the South London posse want to add anything or have suggestions please do post them or PM me.
Best Wishes,
And see you at the eye!
