Brief Report from Ride Leader Jamie:

16 brave mariners completed today’s 23 mile Boat Race Ride. By chance it was also annual HEAD OF THE RIVER race with 30 rowing crews on the Thames. Many thanks to David for Marshalling and John for backstopping.

Ride 2. Greenwich and Blackheath

Post on WHatsApp from ride leader Simon K.: “Thanks Shelagh and Mary for being my eyes and ears, and Mike for excellent bakmarking and indeed all 12 [riders] for a fun ride.”

Comment from Shelagh: “Thakns Simon for an interestng ride. Home with a repaired bike (detour at end to Peckham).”.

Comments from Bruce (Rides Co-ordinator). 10am start from DEal Porter Square next to Canada Water. Route through Russia Dock Woodlands, across South Dock, then mostly alongside the river to Greenwich Park, St Mary’s Gate. Stop to collect riders meetng there. Up to the General Wolfe statue and the Observatory and the view of the Queens House and beyond. Out on to Blackheath but skipped the circuit as very cold. Visitied The Point, extension of Heath to the west. Great views and pleased to see some prning had been done to preserve these. Coffee stop in Greenwich Park then back to Canada Water at 12.20.
