Join us for a friendly bike ride to explore the local area, keep active, build cycling confidence and have fun.<\/p>\n
This short monthly bike ride is suitable for everyone – we get moving at a gentle pace with regular stops along the way whenever we need to. We usually cycle about 5-6 miles in total and always have a longer stop at a caf\u00e9 to relax with refreshments when we reach halfway. The whole ride takes about two hours including the break.<\/p>\n
The ride is especially suitable for you if any of the following apply:<\/p>\n
You don’t have to be an experienced cyclist to take part, as long as you can can steer, pedal and use your brakes then this ride will be suitable. If you are a complete beginner you should get a free lesson from Camden Council<\/a> first and then join our rides after you’ve learned the basics.<\/p>\n This is a regular ride happening on the first Saturday of each month. The route varies each time typically via cycleways, quiet roads and parks – we always include a refreshment stop. The ride is organised by Camden Cyclists in collaboration with local NHS GP practices. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a quick chat about the ride before joining, please email Suzanne at ktride@camdencyclists.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n We have a couple of bikes available to borrow, you can reserve one together with your place using the form below. You need to arrive a little earlier at 9:45am so we can get the bike set up for you before we start. If you would like to wear a helmet, we do have a couple available to borrow with the bikes, but please bring your own if you have access to one as this will ensure it fits well.<\/p>\n If you haven’t used your bike for a while, you might be struggling with flat tyres, worn brake pads and more… We do bike checkups and a mini-workshop to make minor repairs before we set off. You need to arrive a little earlier at 9:30am if you would like a bike checkup.<\/p>\n You can book your place on the ride and reserve a bike using the forms below.<\/p>\n If you need to cancel please email us at ktride@camdencyclists.org.uk<\/a> so we can free up the space for others.<\/p>\n (You can also email us if you would like to come on a ride that is full or if there are no more bikes available and we will add you to a waiting list.)<\/p>\n Join us for a friendly bike ride to explore the local area, keep active, build cycling confidence and have fun.<\/p>\n This short monthly bike ride is suitable for everyone – we get moving at a gentle pace with regular stops along the way whenever we need to.

\nA fairly easy, flat ride from Canada Water (Deal Porter Square) to Hyde Park, crossing both Tower Bridge and Westminster Bridge. There are only 2 planned stops: at the Artists\u2019 Garden<\/a> near Temple and a coffee stop at the Park Sports Cafe in Hyde Park. If we\u2019re quick, we might be able to include a short detour to the Graffiti tunnel near Waterloo, but that will be dependent on time. We should be able to complete the 24km round trip in about 2.5 hours. In order to avoid too much hassle with tourists visiting central London over Easter, we will have an early start at 9.30 am. The planned route is: https:\/\/www.komoot.com\/tour\/2130788567?share_token=am1yUJ9Kh5dtXAyZ7iYAPQDgWSnW3K89az9KBpUVxuvIGmTtxv&ref=wtd<\/a><\/p>\n
\nStart 9.30am at Cutty Sark, next to the tunnel entrance. NOTE EARLY START<\/strong>. Hope to finish back at Greenwich at 1.30, but with uncertainties on a long ride please allow for possible 2pm finish. Route out: round Thames path to London Cable Car across river. Note this means we cannot have e-bikes on this ride, sorry. From Victoria Dock on to Beckton Corridor off road path and round past Beckton Alps, bit of cycle path and back streets to Wanstead Park. See if we can find the famed bluebells. Return across Wanstead Flats, quiet streets to Olympic Park, Hertford Union Canal, Regents Canal Towpath\/Mile End Park, west side of Isle of Dogs to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. If the lifts are working, complete ride by crossing to the Cutty Sark. If not, end the ride at the tunnel. Riders who wish to cross will be guided to Mudchute DLR Station where there is step free access. There is also step free access at Greenwich DLR station. Note this is a long route with a lot of continuous riding. We will be at our usual easy pace, but probably cycling for 3 hours +. You get a rest on the Cable Car (remember to bring some way of paying the fare) and a coffee break. Nevertheless worth bringing a snack and a drink. Ride Leader \u2013 Amanda.<\/p>\n
\nSouthwark Council, formed as part of the 1970s local government reorganisation<\/a>, came into being at Easter 1975. Love them or loathe them it is still an excuse for a bike ride! Werner likes anniversaries so has planned, and will lead, a ride that follows the borough boundary as closely as possible. Start 9am, Southwark Needle, London Bridge. An anticlockwise route takes us first to the Lambeth boundary for a long stetch finishing at the top of Gipsy Hill where we meet Bromley and Croydon. Turn along Crystal Palace Parade where we soon meet Lewisham. We then follow the Lewisham boundary back to the Thames at St Georges Square, just east of South Dock. Follow the river, also of course the boundary, back to London Bridge. We expect to finish at around 1pm after covering about 30km.<\/p>\n

\nWe are fortunate to have Simon Kenward with us again for this ride. Simon is a veteran of several London Marathons and is still involved with the London Marathon executive organizing group. Simon will be pointing out some of the most challenging sections for the marathon runners. The route is, of course, the London Marathon Route. Greenwich Park, Woolwich, Tower Bridge, Isle of Dogs, Victoria Embankment, The Mall\/Admiralty Arch. It is a long way \u2013 even on a bike. Come suitably prepared.
