EECC - Summer of Cycling - Stratford feeder/return for River Peck

This is a feeder ride for the Finding the source of the River Peck ride and is intended for participants coming from East London. Please also book a place on that ride.

From Stratford Velodrome our route heads to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel via the west side of the Isle of Dogs. At 6.5 miles we will walk through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel to get to Cutty Sark Gardens where the other ride starts.

When the other ride finishes, we will resume this ride by walking north through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel and follow the Thames Path on the east side of the Isle of Dogs and retrace our route to Stratford.

This ride is 13 miles with 426 feet of climbs.

Both lifts for the Greenwich Foot Tunnel are out of service until December 2021 so the stairs would need to be used. The North Tower has 87 steps and the South Tower has 100 steps. An alternative crossing could be to take the DLR south from Island Gardens for one stop to Cutty Sark; ~18 minutes exit to exit.

Children are welcome when accompanied by a responsible riding adult. Please bear in mind that the combined route has an overall ride distance of 26 miles across the two rides.

eBikes are welcome.

All participants are expected to bring:
• A bike in good working order with tyres pumped to the correct pressure.
• A cycle helmet
• Carry at least a spare inner tube, pump and tyre levers
• A TfL Travelcard
• A cycle lock for use at the refreshment stop on the other ride
• Dress for the weather on the day
• A drink
