NOTE EARLY START. Hope to finish back at Greenwich at 1.30\, but with uncertainties on a long ride please allow for possible 2pm finish. Route out: round Thames path to London Cable Car across river.

See if we can find the famed bluebells. Return across Wanstead Flats\, quiet streets to Olympic Park\, Hertford Union Canal\, Regents Canal Towpath/Mile End Park\, west side of Isle of Dogs to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. If the lifts are working\, complete ride by crossing to the Cutty Sark. If not\, end the ride at the tunnel.  Riders who wish to cross will be guided to Mudchute DLR Station where there is step free access. There is also step free access at Greenwich DLR station. Note this is a long route with a lot of continuous riding. We will be at our usual easy pace\, but probably cycling for 3 hours +. You get a rest on the Cable Car (remember to bring some way of paying the fare) and a coffee break. Nevertheless worth bringing a snack and a drink.

London has 20 Thames bridges open for cyclists between Tower Bridge and Hampton Court Bridge. On this ride we’ll cross them all and even leave Greater London and stray into Surrey. After 55km (33 miles) we’ll turn around at Hampton Court station for a shorter (35km\, 21 mile) ride back to the start over far fewer bridges. Help\, you are thinking\, that is over 50 miles! Well\, we will go slowly\, allowing 5 hours for the bridges and 3 hours for the return (Google says you can do Hampton Court to Waterloo in 1h 20min by bike). 9am start at the Needle\, south side of London Bridge\, 2pm at Hampton Court Bridge\, 5pm back at London Bridge. A first stop at Bishops Park\, Fulham. Several more as the ride develops.  If you do not fancy the return\, there are trains from Hampton Court Station every 30 min. There are also plenty stations close to the route most of the way if needed. \nPrepare well. Give bike a thorough check. Pay particular attention to tyres – side walls all OK\, plenty tread\, plenty pressure? Pack a spare inner tube\, a multitool. Bring water\, snacks\, money or sandwiches for lunch\, travel card just in case. \nRiders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

SUMMARY:Epping Forest Ramble
DESCRIPTION:Epping Forest Ramble  \nPlease register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers\, link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/epping-forest-ramble-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-1391596836599?aff=oddtdtcreator \nOwen seems determined to get us all out into the Essex countryside. Following his successful Essex Ramble last month (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2025/ride-reports-3rd-may-2025/) he has devised another. We are heading to Epping Forest this time. A 27km (16 miles) circuit from Chingford to Epping and back. Farthest point on the ride will be at Epping Signalling Museum. Coffee stop will be at High Beech. Other places of interest we will stop at will be Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge and Connaught Water. The ride will start at 9.30am at Chingford Station and will finish at approximately 1.30pm back at Chingford Station.  We are mostly off road – 70% on gravel\, 5% on grass. Just 25% on tarmac (paths and road). We think a Brompton would be OK. However NOT a road bike with slim wheels\, need hybrid size tyres with plenty grip.  Sections of the route are “undulating” and overall it will be a challenging ride\, A reasonable level of fitness will be needed.  GPX file of route at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/route-for-epping-forest-ramble/ \nGetting to Chingford from Central London. Obvious option is Overground (Weaver Line) from Liverpool St. 27 min ride\, trains every 15 min\, fare £3.60. \nRiders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.  If you cannot make a ride\, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.
