This is a one-way ride, we will return via train.
We will ride via quiet roads and cycle paths to Greenford Quays, where we will pick up the canal tow path, If you would prefer to join us at Greenford Quays please message me.
We will cycle along the canal tow path towards Paddington stopping at Grand Junction café by St Mary Magdalene Church for refreshments.
We will continue to Westbourne Grove and follow a cycle lane to Hyde park, cycle through the park to Hyde Park corner, along Constitution Hill and the Mall, around Parliament Square and pick up CS3 at Westminster bridge onto Lincoln Inn Field. At 12:30pm a 'Freedom to Ride petition' will be handed to the Mayor, then at 12:45 the LCC Women’s Freedom Ride will start. The ride is just over 5 miles and will last 1 hour taking in some sights in central London.

Following the ride, we will go back to CS3 and make our way to Aldgate station, taking the metropolitan line train back to Eastcote.
