Start 10am at The Southwark Gateway Needle, SE side London Bridge, close to the station. Est finish 1:30. Bruce leading this 20 mile ride. Several off-road stretches, most of rest on cycleways or quiet streets. Just a few short bits on main roads. Outward route across the City, past the Barbican and Bunhill fields, over canal at Packington Bridge, Clissold Park, Finsbury Park. Coffee at Lakeside Café, Alexandra Palace. Return along the South Terrace (Photo opp), off road path to Muswell Hill then more off road along Parkland Walk to Muswell Hill Road. Then a bit of road, including 300m of the A1. Pick up the Parkland walk again for 2.6km to Finsbury Park, west side. Then along quiet streets south through Highbury Fields avoiding the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal home match with 12.30 kick off). Long quiet streets run past Mount Pleasant to Roseberry Ave. Probably pick up CW6 for quick run down to the Embankment and east to Monument and London Bridge. There are a few uphills, notably the climb up to Alexandra Palace (91m). Everyone welcome.
