The 2024 London Ride on 20 March; invitation to all Wayfarers.

The joint A and B Group London Ride will take place on Wednesday 20 March.

We will depart from the coffee stall in front of Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park, a little later than is usually the case (because of the lunch arrangements).  Times to be finalised after the final recce on Monday but first group probably leaving at 11.15 or so.

The route will take us through Mortlake and Hammersmith (we have negotiated a rare opportunity to cycle across Hammersmith Bridge, which will be closing again soon), through Shepherds Bush and Holland park to Paddington Rec and Maida Vale where we will lunch at the Carlton, a pub bulldozed by greedy developers in 2016 only for Westminster Council to make them rebuild it brick for brick.

The afternoon is a little longer than the morning, through Paddington and past Kensington Palace, through South Ken and past Stamford Bridge, through Putney back to Richmond Park.

Tea is likely to be at L'assaggino just outside Kingston Gate which is at the south west corner of the park.

Here is the latest draft route.

Those wanting to come and see an eclectic range of London back streets, the kind of tour that can only satisfactorily be done by bicycle, please let me know by Monday night 18 March at paulandrewjames1949@yahoo.co.uk.
