REGENTS CANAL RIDE SATURDAY 21 8 2021 – O8.40 GRAYS STATION
Dear All. I’m planning the above ride this Saturday 21st August 2021. Meet at Grays station 08.40, to catch the 09.00, platform 1, train to West Ham, arrive 09.28. (There’s a partial bus service this Saturday…) Briefly, off at West Ham, down Limehouse Cut to pick up the Regents Canal and on to Primrose Hill for coffee and snacks. On to Little Venice, Paddington, The Royal parks and the Embankment. From here a choice to ride homeward via either the north or south bank of the Thames. The canal path can get a little busy with walkers but we usually get through ok, it’s a slow pleasant ride then speed up later. Note. If you don’t live around Grays and you’re coming in on the Basildon line or elsewhere… we can wait for you at West Ham. Please Text, … Read entire article »

Recreational Ride – SUNDAY 8th August 2021
At Barking station Sharon, Dave and I met with Terry, Roy and Chris G. Chris’s first ride with our small group… Heavy summer rain pouring down though not too windy or cold. Carefully we picked our way through the wet terraced back roads to the ‘Boris Blue Route’ running beside the A13 leading to Beckton. Here with Dave’s expert guidance and safe easy riding, we rode through green parklands on to an early coffee stop … Read entire article »

Recreational Ride – SUNDAY 8th August 2021
From Jon Lane Dear All I’m planning a ride this SUNDAY 8th August 2021, meeting at Grays station at 09.00 The weather looks better, less risk of rain. The train timetable appears to be operating normally… Two choices of route. One around the Regents Canal, coffee at Primrose Hill and onward back towards Limehouse, probably eats and coffee at the popular ‘Yurt Café’. Two. Off at Barking station, Cycle Super Highway Route 1 and a pleasant meander through East London and the café. Ride home either north or south of the Thames, maybe through the Greenwch/Woolwich tunnels and homeward. Should the weather change for the worst then the train’s an alternative. Maybe a good idea to take waterproofs… As you probably know we’ve ridden this route a few times now, slow and steady and always enjoyed ourselves … Read entire article »

KENT RIDE – TO UPNOR CASTLE – SATURDAY 21 7 2021. 09.00 TILBURY FERRY…
From Jon Lane Dear All. Seven of us set off on the Tilbury ferry then out and up Gravesend High Street. Traffic very light due to convenient road closures and the holiday season. Picked up the parkland that was the ancient Watling Street (A2) The weather ideal, warm and not too windy. A winding route towards Sole Street, passing wheat fields with many shades of poppy and more. On through Dickens’s Cobham village, then a coffee stop at Shorne Woods Country Park. Our usual jolly and relaxing chat following the restrictions… A steady roll along Shorne Ridgeway and down the steep gradient to Upper Higham. Passing the spired church there and along Hermitage Road with the terrific views over the Thames and beyond. Along quirky back lanes ending with the steady uphill … Read entire article »
