London Ride Saturday 22nd January
Dear All. I plan to take a London ride tomorrow, Saturday 22nd January 2022, meet at Grays station 08.45 taking the 09.00 train to travel to West Ham. A pleasant route to Southwark Park and the waterside cafe there for refreshment… Head back east towards Dartford, using the nice new cycleways separating riders from the traffic… and alongside parts of the Thames – depending on how we all feel… Not a great distance, about 30 miles door to door and mainly flat. Saturday looks a bit sunnier than Sunday and we need make the most of the daylight. All welcome – may see you there… Cheers! 🙂 Jon. M 07845 928 596 … Read entire article »
