England : London Role Call Please! London Sunday Ride 23rd Feb - City of London Boundary Dragons

[lilolee]

An impromptu ride led by myself. It's a short ride which I may embellish with a couple of extras, but still probably on about 10-12 miles max.

Meet at Hyde Park Corner (by the Royal Artillery Memorial) at 9.30am, leaving as soon as the Horse Guards have passed (usually about 9:45am). There'll be a quick comfort break part way round, but it would be best if you can use nearby facilities first.

The small print, just as a reminder: This is not a formal ride under the auspices of any club. We will be just a bunch of friends on a ride together and my role will be simply to guide us round a route. As such, you will be riding under your own insurance.

Anyone interested?

This is nice and compact loop around the City, with brunch/lunch in Lincoln Inn Fields

Maybe we should do that again, only this time in the order they appear on the board.

I remember when I did the route we took last time that I thought there would be too much zigzagging, but really it's just the stations that mess it up. Of course, we also included water works and tax office.

@rb58 In researching the Monopoly route I found this http://richardwalkslondon.com/walking-the-monopoly-board/

Now I think anyone cycling a 300km Audax is , but this guy walk runs these things. He did the monopoly board walk of 54 miles in 12.5 hrs. And btw his name is Richard McChesney, some distant relation maybe

54 miles at Sunday London Ride pace would take us about 11 hours, so not much quicker than his walking pace. LOL
