London Calling – exploring London’s new cycle routes; Saturday 23rd March 2019
Changed date! This ride is now on Saturday 23rd March 2019, as there are no trains on the Sunday.
Our first ride of 2019. You’ll need to catch the train to London Kings Cross to join in. We will do a 20 mile route taking in some of the older and newer bits of London cycle routes the highlight will be the whole of the Embankment route in both directions from Blackfriars to the Tower to Hyde Park and back. This will include riding past the Houses of Parliament.

Easy local rides
If the May in February weather has inspired you to get out and cycle, but you aren’t sure what might be a good ride locally, try one of our DIY rides. We have planned out a 4 mile circuit in both Welwyn Garden City and Hatffield, a 5.7 mile ride you can do from Stanborough Park or Mill Green or the 12.7 mile grand tour of both towns. All four have gpx files you can download to use if you have a bike computer. https://www.welhatcycling.org.uk/eventslist/diy-rides-in-welwyn-hatfield/
