Independence Day ride around London 3rd July

[Flying Dodo]

Not surprisingly, Americans will feature a few times on this ride. But not the confirmed family man, Arnie.

Here's a link to a gpx file of the possible route.

Pencil me in as a possible. Looks a nice little ride.

I'm trying to limit my rides for a bit

I'm always up for a bit of education. This looks fun.

Stick me in for this, please?

Thank you, FD.

Don't forget a bit of riverbank, Adam ... that 'arty type all American' James McNeil r...

You're whistling barking up the wrong tree there, Martin - we don't go south of the river.

 

[dellzeqq]

will you be stopping by this one?

it's a pity that this is in Chertsey


but this would be within reach


this, of course, is way beyond, but I think that a mention of the the 'Father of the American Revolution' is in order

 

[dellzeqq]

of course there's always room for the impact that Americans have had on the city.....






(I'm thinking Cesar Pelli, rather than the Reichmans who were Canadian)

 

[Flying Dodo]

Aha - funny you should mention Charles Fox. He's on my reserve list, as he does have a statue in Bloomsbury Square.

 

[dellzeqq]

nice one!

Naughty boy! Cremorne Gardens are gone, but the gates are there - somewhere... And last time I looked, it was North, although, I agree, Chelsea have 'gone South' since Wegerle, from the US team used to play for them. (Even though he was SOUTH African... Does that make sense?)

Too clever for me! I was just going from the picture of Old Battersea Bridge, as that was painted from the south.

You're too young to remember that, Adam - have you been looking at that American google thingummybob (like the rest of us?)

This is out too - no sportswear!

 

[Flying Dodo]

Dress Code:
Smart Casual, No Sportswear





I think we'll be barred.

Also, this Tour coincides with the London Bluesfest - maybe BB King or other luminaries will be strolling around en route?
