two free sociable cycle rides Sat Oct 12th

[Sally Eva]

On the 12th Oct we have 2 rides, Jean and John leading to Regents Park to view the Frieze Sculptures (that’s right – sculptures two weeks running!) and Simon with another version of his ride round the big tourist sites of Central London

 

Frieze Sculptures in Regents Park.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cycle-ride-to-frieze-sculptures-in-regents-park-from-dulwich-tickets-1034985658967 >

Start at 10.00 from Dulwich Park Café (Dulwich Clock Café, middle of park). Ride via Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction to Kennington and Oval up to Vauxhall Bridge. Along the river to Westminster Bridge, then St James Park and on to Hyde Park.  From Hyde Park we will make our way to Regents Park to the English Garden to see the Sculptures on show for Frieze 2024. This is a really fun outdoor display held every October. You will find an audio/video guide here .  

We'll allow a half hour to look around the 21 pieces and take a coffee break nearby. If you want longer looking at the sculptures - then bring your own drink/snack. 

Returning across Hyde Park then Exhibition Road and South Kensington down to the river and across to Battersea from where we will ride through Clapham Common and Brockwell Park back to Dulwich Park. The ride will be about 20 miles and allowing extra time for the exhibition, we will aim to be back in Dulwich by 2pm. Report of a previous Frieze ride here.
