Join us to reconnoitre this EECC ride for Saturday. There will be occasional stops to discuss the routing, risks and identifying/testing alternatives including the new coffee stop.
Meandering counter-clockwise through the quietways of the East End, the ride first heads towards Shadwell before joining the Thames Path edging the Isle of Dogs. We then take in a loop of Canary Wharf before heading to Blackwall then continue through Poplar before catching the canal path towards the QE Olympic Park where we will have a coffee stop on the 11th mile at the
Timber Lodge Cafe. We will then head into Victoria Park, before crossing the Green Bridge (which is yellow underneath!) to arrive back at our start point.
Relatively flat and at a leisurely pace, this ride welcomes all abilities, but please note the 15 mile distance with 450 feet of climbs.
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 at the Timber Lodge Cafe).
• Lights if there is any chance of poor visibility.
