Let's Ride Through Winter - London Tourist Ride

Please join me on this winter sightseeing ride to London!

We'll follow the Wandle Trail up to Wandsworth, cross over the Albert Bridge, passing the Royal Chelsea Hospital, Sloane Square and the French Embassy en route to Hyde Park. After a loop of the park, we'll cross Hyde Park Corner, Buckingham Palace and the Mall before arriving at Horseguards Parade where we may see the Changing of the Guard if we have timed it right! Then on across Parliament Square, along the embankment and crossing Vauxhall Bridge with great view of the MI6 building. After that, we'll pass the Oval and take CS7 before rejoining the Wandle trail.

We will have a stop for refreshment along the way, but please ensure that you have sufficient nutrition to see you through the ride.

*** Please do not rely on trains to get you to or from this ride - Trains are not running to/from Victoria on this date ***

**** Let's Ride Through Winter is back for 2022! ***
In 2022 we are focusing on how the bicycle can be a really powerful tool to help tackle climate change. Take part in at least four Breeze and/or Guided Rides throughout January and February, and for every person who completes the challenge (applies to participants and volunteers) we will plant a tree through our partner, See.Sense (and We Forest).
Each month we will have a prize draw for lucky winners who will receive ICON 2 front lights.

Covid-19: You should not attend this ride if you, or anyone in your household, has tested positive for Covid-19 and are still within the isolation period. If you become unwell between booking the ride and the ride date, please remember to cancel your place so that it becomes available for another rider, as numbers are restricted. If you become unwell with Covid-19 in the days following the ride, or test positive, please contact the ride leader. There is no requirement to wear a face covering while riding, but you may do so if you wish.

This is classed as a a challenging ride, as we will need to maintain a fairly good pace to cover the distance within the time specified. We will ride along quiet roads, cyclepaths (some of which may be hard packed gravel, which we will avoid if likely to be muddy), and cycle superhighways.

Please ensure that your bike is in good working order and remember to bring your helmet and a spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump too. You may also wish to bring a drink, snack, money/card, lock, face covering and hand sanitizer.
