"Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?" "We've followed the Cycle Superhighway CS3 from Canning Town to Westminster and then past Buckingham Palace to look at the Queen!"
This ride is almost completely on a segregated cycle path and so ideal as a confidence builder for those starting off/returning to cycling.
Our route takes us through Poplar, alongside the Canary Wharf Estate and then through Shadwell. We pass Tower Hill continuing along the Embankment towards Westminster. Heading past Buckingham Palace, we then do a circuit of Hyde Park and have our halfway coffee stop by the Serpentine then follow the same route back to our start point.
Relatively flat and at a leisurely pace, this ride welcomes all abilities, but please note the 18 mile distance.
Children are welcome when accompanied by a responsible riding adult.
All participants are expected to bring:
• A bike in good working order with tyres pumped to the correct pressure. (If in doubt, have it checked over by a local bike shop or qualified mechanic).
• A cycle helmet
• Carry at least a spare inner tube, pump and tyre levers.
• Dress for the weather on the day.
• A drink and energy bar/cash (we have a coffee stop in Hyde Park).
• Lights if there is any chance of poor visibility.
