NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, link:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/waterloo-to-twickenham-river-ride-tickets-1296297804629

Jamie is leading this relaxed ride that involves some enjoyable cycling in stages for about 17 miles in all. 80% of the route is on quieter roads and some unsurfaced river paths. This route is predominantly flat and thus suitable for all types of bicycles and regular rider abilities.

Coordinating Instructions and Timings
Riders will meet at 09.30am (note slightlyearlier start time) on Saturday 29th March at the bottom of the steps outside and under the Waterloo Station Victory Arch Clock that is 50 yards up on the right from where York Road meets Mepham Street and Cab Road just before the road bridge. A short Riders safety briefing will be given at 09.30am.
