Westminster attack and the London Ride group

View from the south side of Westminster Bridge (Simon)

A brief update from today's London Ride. It appears that when the group were turned back by the police cordon at Westminster we were less than 200 mts from the crashed terrorist vehicle and quite probably there only ten minutes after the incident occurred. Shockingly, the vehicle appears to have crashed just by the cycle lane we would have been on.



Its around here somewhere (Simon)

The tragic events of yesterday afternoon overshadow the morning ride to Camden and all points north, south, east and west. Fourteen hardy souls left Putney Bridge, crossed Wandsworth Bridge then on through Battersea Park and crossed the Thames again on Waterloo Bridge. On through theatre land to Euston, the British Library and Camden where my last minute changes to the route sent the Garmin into a tail spin. However, with the assistance of Dave and Simon we managed to arrive at lunch in reasonably good time. We were joined by Mike Morley, who had been at the Shakespeare’s Head for some time before attending a funeral.

The delay in getting to the pub, and leaving once the rain had stopped probably prevented us from being caught-up in the tragedy at Westminster Bridge.

Still, looking on the bright side all fourteen of us now know the Regents Canal route very well. My thanks to Dave for leading from Cheam , Simon for his support and Steve for back marking.

Next year…. Anywhere but the Regents Canal.
