About this Event
Flat 3 hour, 13 mile ride so pretty easy-paced. Lots of Thameside and dock-side path or quiet streets. Start 10am, aim to finish 1pm at Cutty Sark. Start location: Greenwich Station. Meet at main entrance on Greenwich High Road, near the Novotel (not DLR station entrance or on platform). OR meet at tunnel exit at Island Gardens at 10.15 (for people happy to carry bikes down/up steps at Greenwich Foot Tunnel, or who can ride directly to Island Gardens). Please indicate on the registration form if you plan to join at Island Gardens. Leader Jamie.
Route. To begin we will take the DLR to Mudchute (bring face mask and travel pass or equivalent). Then east side of Isle of Dogs to Blackwall, East India Dock Basin, Lee flyover cycle path, Royal Victoria Dock, Excel Centre, Royal Albert Dock, London City Airport. Start return over Sir Steve Redgrave Bridge, then across Woolwich Ferry (or if just miss one via Foot Tunnel). Back via Thames Path (NCN 4) past Flood Barrier and O2.

As Jaime said in his report from that ride, “There cannot be many healthy activities more enjoyable than a cycle along a warm and sunny London river path with good company.” Fingers crossed we get the warm and sunny again!
If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.
Despite the ending of Covid rules it is still important that we remain vigilant. Consider wearing a mask in enclosed spaces and keep socially distanced from other users on shared paths. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can feel safe. Obviously do not turn up to these events if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19 or are currently testing positive.
