Despite a heavy downpour one hour before the start, there were 12 riders at Canada Water at 9.30 for the second Healthy Ride +. Werner leading took us over Southwark Bridge to the British Museum via the Guildhall, Smithfields and Lincoln’s Inn Fields. After a coffee stop, on to the Inner and Middle Temples via the statue of Hodge, Dr Johnson’s cat in Gough Square. Very pleasant in the quiet of legal London, although some interesting activity on view. A group of actors rehearsing outside Middle Temple Hall and 4 ladies in period dress with lovely old bikes doing a photo shoot. Home via a very congested Victoria Embankment, Westminster Bridge and Nat Route NR4 along the south side of the river. Weather became warmer and sunnier as the ride progressed.

The longer Healthy Rides + are proving popular. The next will be 3rd Saturday in August (Aug 16th) when we plan to ride to the Thames Barrier. Next 2 hour ride is on Saturday July 26th, 10am, Peckham Square.
