Richmond without the hills…. This is a shorter easy going ride, using the canal towpath (unless the weather is too wet) to take us down from Ealing to Brentford, then through Syon Park and Isleworth to Richmond Bridge. We will make our way to the riverside path, with a detour to view the statue of Virginia Woolf overlooking the river.
