two free sociable cycle rides Sat Oct 29th

[Sally Eva]

NOTE. You must register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.

On Oct 29th we will have 2 rides, both approx. 3 hours in duration both heading into north London. Registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are occasional cancellations during the week. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.

Last week a rider punctured on both our rides. Very unusual. Please carry a spare inner tube or one of those kits for doing an instant repair (such as this one, https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/universal-puncture-repair-spray-nozzle/_/R-p-312454?mc=8573560).

Ride details

Peckham to Westminster and Camden Globes. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/world-reimagined-cycle-ride-westminster-and-camden-globes-tickets-449480928557 >

Philippa leading. More of the “World Reimagined” globes. Over the last few weeks we have ridden to the Globes in the City and in Lambeth and Southwark. Now another set of London Globes in Westminster and Camden. Start/finish Peckham Square, stat 10am. Not a long ride, leaving plenty time for reading the information at each globe, estimate back at Peckham about 1pm. Route will be over Waterloo Bridge, Covent Garden, Kings Cross (Coal Drops yard etc) and coffee stop in Camden. Official route for these globes is at https://jod.theworldreimagined.org/trails/london/london:-camden---westminster/3 but note we are not going to get to them all.

London Bridge to Parliament Hill < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-parliament-hill-fields-cycle-ride-tickets-449475191397 >

Bruce leading. 13 mile loop with time to compare the views from Parliament Hill and Primrose Hill. 10.00 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Southwark Gateway Needle, south east side of London Bridge, close to the station. Outward route will pass St Pauls, pause at Kings Cross (Granary Square), through atmospheric St Pancras Cemetery, then roads (some busy) to Parliament Hill Fields. Will stop at the Café for a break. Energetic riders can walk up to the viewpoint – there will be time for that. Return route will pass the Roundhouse then ascend Primrose Hill. From there go through Regents Park, then across Bloomsbury, past UCL and the British Museum.

Finally join the Cycleway as far as the Monument before crossing back over London Bridge. A mostly quiet route except for about a mile along Kentish Town Road and Highgate Road.
