This ride is the annual London ride (which has not happened since 2019 for obvious reasons).
The ride goes right up through the centre of town past some iconic landmarks...Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Sq, St Pauls Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Houses of Parliament among them. Mostly on quiet back roads or cycle paths, as with any London ride, there are a few short sections on busy main roads
The start point will be from Sainsburys Sury Basin in Kingston. There are toilets in the store but no cafe, but there is a cafe opposite in the Bike Exchange.

Lunch is at The Pommelers Rest (a Wetherspoons) at Tower Bridge, and tea is at the Windmill Cafe on Wimbledon Common.
About 20 miles to lunch, and 12 miles to tea. There is a short off-road section right at the end to lead up to the Windmill Cafe, which was muddy in parts yesterday. It was easily rideable though and as the weather looks pretty good right through until next Wednesday, it should have dried right out by then.
Please let me know by 6pm on Monday evening if you would like to come along, at bartholomews@blueyonder.co.uk
