This year’s Boat Race is on Sunday April 3^rd. This ride will cycle the course the day before. NOTE: this is an all day ride. Jamie leading.

The aim is to cycle as closely as possible the course of the 4.25 mile Boat Race route from Putney to Mortlake.  This is predominantly a relaxed and social event that involves some enjoyable cycling in stages for about 22 miles. 80% of the route is on quieter roads and unsurfaced river paths. This circular route is suitable for all types of bicycles and confident rider abilities. From Waterloo Station will follow the river path west to reach the start at Putney Embankment. From Putney stay on the south side of the river and head to Mortlake before crossing the river by the finish post at Chiswick Bridge. Will then follow the river down the north side passing Chiswick Eyot, Hammersmith Bridge and the Fulham Palace.

Meet at 10.00am at the bottom of the steps outside and under the Waterloo Station Victory Arch that is 50 yards up on the right from where York Road meets Cab Rd/Mepham St.  Coffee stop 11am at Putney Embankment where we will pause to watch the Crews prepare for the following day. Lunch stop around 12.30 at The Old Ship Inn, Hammersmith. Riders are welcome to bring their own  lunch should they wish. Back at Waterloo Station by approximately 4.30pm.
