Easy paced ride to see how far we can get along the Thames path heading east. Thames path is now all open again after building work. Some of the best cycle track you will ever see, but also some very narrow bits. Care needed on these stretches and giving way to pedestrians. Hope to get to the Ecology Park.
Route starts by crossing Russia Woodland and joining the Thames Path at Greenland Passage. Good riverside path for a bit, then the usual diversion inland around Convoys Wharf. Rejoin Thames at the Ahoy Centre and follow river past Cutty Sark and all the way round the peninsula. Should get well past the O2 and return across the peninsula to the blue bridge over the A102, rejoining the Thames Path briefly at Enderby Wharf. Detour inland around the Power Station for a change, through the Naval College and back past Cutty Sark to the Deptford Creek foot bridge. Turn inland here to join Cycleway 1 at Bronze St and follow it for a mile to Blackhorse Rd. Cross A200 with care. Why there is no crossing on this stretch I do not know! Then Surrey Canal Linear Park and Greenland Dock back to Canada Water.
Lots to see on this flat route. Route map at http://bit.ly/2uykRnc
