We will have a ride from London Bridge (Needle) as planned. Jean has kindly stepped in. Route will include Mile End and Victoria Parks, so probably at least a bit of Regents Canal. Aim is to finish back at Needle at 12,30 or so.  Same Eventbrite link works. At present (3pm, Fri 23rd)  ride is fully booked, but there will probably be cancellations, so worth checking..

A circular ride starting and finishing at the Southwark Gateway Needle (SE side London Bridge, top of Duke St Hill, close to London Bridge Station). It is a long ride, 10am to approx. 4pm. It will involve much towpath riding, some of it busy with pedestrians, so be prepared for that and pay close attention to the safety brief at the start of the ride. Jamie leading: here are his rules of engagement.

Mission
