This ride will take us through Tooting Bec Common and Wandsworth Common to the Thames Path and on that to lunch in Barnes. Returning to Clapham Junction on the Thames Path for the train home.

It will be on Saturday the 21st October.

You can choose where to start. Riders setting off from Croydon will rendezvous at Clapham Junction with riders coming by train. The longer ride is 22 ½ miles and the shorter, off road, ride is 12 ½ miles. A WhatsApp group is providing riders.

The starting point is Queens Gardens, central Croydon. The rendezvous point is the Grant Road entrance of Clapham Junction station nearest platform 1, outside the station. If your station exit is full of shops go back to the other end.

The 2nd half of the Thames section is a lovely, tree canopied path of packed gravel. Fine for traction and ok for road bike tyres with enough pressure.

Meet in Queens Gardens at 9.30 for a 9.40 pedal off. Rendezvous at 11. To join us at Clapham Junction the 10:44 to Victoria would be the ideal train to get.
