London Ride - 20th March. As and Bs, North Cheam to Rotherhithe.

Our annual London Ride will be heading out to east London, via quiet roads, paths and parks.

Elevenses is at the San Remo Cafe, Tooting Bec Common, http://tootingbeccommoncafe.co.uk, and lunch at Wetherspoons, The Surrey Docks, https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pub-histories/england/london/the-surrey-docks-rotherhithe

From lunch we'll head back to south-west London for tea at the Home Community Cafe, Garrat Lane, Earlsfield, https://www.homecommunitycafe.co.uk.

Around 24, evenly-paced miles from North Cheam to lunch, with plenty of opportunities to stop and take-in points of interest. A few faster-paced miles on busier Super Highway 7 back via Clapham Common to Earlsfield. (If the sun shines we'll sit in the not-for-profit Home Cafe garden for delicous home-made cakes).

For those wishing to cut-short the ride after lunch Surrey Quays Overground station is opposite the pub - with trains to Clapham Junction, whilst Quietway 1 (South), soon after the start of our route back, continues on to Waterloo station. http://content.tfl.gov.uk/quietway-1-south-map-waterloo-to-greenwich.pdf. Otherwise, after tea, you can follow the outward route back to North Cheam.

Mike Barrett and Dave Vine will be sharing back-marking duties - with the route loaded onto their Garmins -  to shepherd any lost sheep back into the fold.

Prompt 9.30am start at North Cheam please.

Hi Ged, very efficient posting this early. I plan to go direct to elevenses see you there. May well give tea a miss and go to see friend on Clapham Common though tea in Earlsfield sounds enticing.
