Starting point

NW1 5RU

Pavement outside main entrance on the ramp at Baker Street.

We will meet at Baker Street Underground Station, and head east through Regents Park and on to the Canal path. Note: if coming from Watford, meet at Watford Underground Stn at 9.20am We will follow the canal towpath along through Camden Town, the new developments at Kings Cross along to Islington. We will then go through quiet roads and rejoin the canal when it exits from the tunnel on the other side of Islington. We follow the route into the Olympic park and there we can relax and cycle around all of the stadiums, have a lovely lunch at the award winning cafe or picnic with snack before heading back home. The cycling is a gentle pace along the canal and we may want to pop out to see London Fields Market or the old Alcoves from London Bridge in Victoria Park so I have allowed a lot of time. This is a lovely easy route along the ever changing canal scenery to the Olympic park. The final section will follow the route that David Beckham speed sailed in along on the Opening ceremony. The canal path has a few stoney gravelly areas so not for the most delicate tyres. Most bikes will be OK - bring along a spare inner tube just in case. If you want to only do the journey one way, there are overland trains from Stratford to St Pancras and Euston.
