London Lights 11th sept

[topcat1]

It looks like i've got that weekend off and as you know "i love london"
so thought it would be a good idea to ride around see some sights maybe have a takeaway
and end with view point looking at the town

my favorite ally pally?
richmond park?
hampstead?

Oops, forgot about the martlets ride lets make this

[topcat1]

this sort of stuff

 

[Aperitif]

"The 'hills' are alive with the Sound of Topcat"
Richmond, just uphill from the town centre is a better view - then dive down and out of town to Priests Hill etc then Windsor for another view. Followed by a 'dip' into the Chilterns perhaps...return via St Albans, Potters Bar...Tottenham Hotspur FC, duck right, then towards Hampi Steady etc... that sort of thing?

 

[zimzum42]

I'll be up for this kind of thing, not so sure about Aperitif's 200km stage of the tour version though...

 

[martint235]

I might be up for it. Went and bought a Hope after all, may as well cause some light pollution. More detail would be good and a southern side to the tour......

This is all after the Martletts ride??

After 4 100mile+ rides in the space of 15 days of which 3 being nighttime ones and then going out to this after the Martletts ride, sorry but am going to pass and go and get lashed instead. Looks great but my legs and body are about to give in..

Ta!

Fixed for you Davy - until you break it..! Well done! The Seagull Café is your best reference point on arrival at Brighton, I feel. Do not be disturbed if a 'bad clothing' competition breaks out around you!

For the nice views I reckon Ally Pally is best, the Richmond view is nice and all, but nowhere near as good, and it's a bit of a slog for a second rate vista...
