sociable cycle ride Sat October 14th

This is a Canada Water one -- starts 10am from outside Canada Water Library and returns to the same place at 12 noon. It's a very safe, mostly off-road route -- lots of it on National Route 4.


The ride heads off along the Thames (mostly NR4) to Greenwich and then goes under the water at the foot tunnel near the Cutty Sark. It pops up in Island Gardens like you do and then heads along the north bank to Tower Bridge.


Tower Bridge is narrow and congested but the speed limit is 20mph and the congestion stops speeds getting to that. And it's strictly enforced. There are weight limits which TfL enforces against everyone except buses so the bridge is not as difficult for cyclists as you might expect. Cross on it to the south bank and then head back to Canada Water (again mostly NR4)


David is leading. This is the map

    • Hi sorry for messing you around on timings today, would it.be OK to come either 2.30 / 4.30 please?
    • We could not be happier. Brian and Malachi were wonderful to have around the house while they were working. The result is 5 star and with Brian's direction the route we took was better than what we had planned. We love the look of our house it has totally changed the feel of the property and transformed it into a house we are proud of. Thank you so much for your great work. Not one hitch and felt really taken care of from start to finish. I cannot recommend them enough.
    • I wanted to provide a strong recommendation for Nick Minnes and his team. I came across Nick when someone on our street was moving out shortly after we moved in and posted on our street whatsapp group with their top ten best trades people in which Nick was listed as a handyman+. We had just moved into a house that had been lived in for 40 years by a couple in their late 80s so there was a lot of work to do! Over the last 5 years, we have used Nick on multiple occasions. The definition of handymen+ does not do Nick and his team justice as they do so much more than this. The work they have done includes: A complete new bathroom refurbishment (including re-building a new wall) Completely refurbishing a sitting room (including inserting sound insultation and bespoke cabinetary) Bespoke under stairs storage (after a number of other trades people said it was too difficult) Preparing the house for plastering (removing old wallpaper, filling in cracks) Outside restoration of bricks and cornice Fixing floorboards down Nick is not your normal handymen. He is extremely creative and also great with thinking through colour schemes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Nick and his team again. Everything that they have done for me has been of the highest quality. They are trustworthy, tidy, reliable and honest. I already have a list of other jobs to get them back in for. I would very happily provide a reference for Nick - just like the people did who were leaving our road.  Nick can be contacted on: 07866 267 581. Thanks, Andy
