Normally the Sunday London Ride is on the second Sunday of the month, however, the second weekend in April is a clash with the FNRttC Whitstable edition, so this 'special' will be the week after. Hopefully it won't be snowed off this time. As a reminder:
The idea: A gentle meander in the best tradition of Sunday London Rides stopping at some of the places around London which have featured in well-known (and maybe not such well known) films over the years. Conversational pace, lycra optional.
The route will be around 20 miles. Originally it was 26 miles, but I think that's too far for us to get to our destination at a reasonable time. Don't worry though, you'll only miss one location if we take the shorter route.
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). This time we will not be heading through Hyde Park, so if you want to use the ‘facilities’ in Hyde Park before we leave, please do that on your way to the start. You’ll need a 20p piece.
We’ll end up out east at Trinity Buoy Wharf at around 1.30pm for refreshments at Fat Boys Diner (which of course featured in the film Sliding Doors). There'll be a quick comfort break at around half way.
For those that need it, I’ll lead people back to central London after refreshments have been taken. There is also the option to use the cable car and ride back to central London via Greenwich. Or even the Woolwich ferry, if that's your fancy.
A show of hands for 15 April please.
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 you round a route. As such, you will be riding under your own insurance.
