Ride from Cutty Sark to Rainham Marshes

How do I start up a cycling club? To get started hold a meeting with those interested in forming a club. You will need to decide on your club name and someone will have to take the role of club secretary. It is also a good idea to appoint a chairman and treasurer and decide on things like fees you will charge members. You will need to write a club constitution, which will clarify your club’s policies and procedures. It is a good idea to write a draft of this before the initial meeting so that it can be finalised at the meeting. Once you have done this you will need to complete and return your affiliation form and pay the appropriate fee. Once your application has been processed your club will be affiliated.

We then cross to the north side of the Thames and cycle up to the A13 along a scenic cycle route. We then follow the A13 cycle path for a short distance and then turn off onto side roads which take us past Eastbrookend House. We take a detour around Beam Park and then take paths through Rainham Marshes and along the coast to the cafe at the Rainham Marshes nature reserve, where we stop for a refreshment break. We then return to Cutty Sark Gardens using the same route.
