THIS RIDE: an easy ride to Chelsea to, in true Christmassy spirit, try and find all 12 installations inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas carol around Duke of York Square – some quite puzzling! See more here:
dukeofyorksquare.com/whats-on/news/the-12-days-of-christmas. Hot beverages to be grabbed at the square, but why not start Christmas Eve with a packed festive (handmade or not) snack of your own or to share with fellow riders?
THE ROUTE: We cycle through North Kensington, Hyde Park, Belgravia, Chelsea, and Maida Vale.
Finding all 12 installations and what verse of the carol they are linked to will be our challenge! Once completed, we head back and aim to return to Roundwood Park at around 2pm.
