Inspired by Jacqueline Turners Ride!...on the anniversary of his untimely death, 6 years ago.
Bowie would have been 75 on 8th January 2022, but sadly died of cancer on this day in 2016. To commemorate this event, there is a pop up shop in Heddon Street, just yards from where he posed as Ziggy Stardust for the eponymous album cover.
We will ride up to Central London via Brixton, crossing the river at Waterloo bridge. We will cycle through Covent Garden to reach Regent Street and then Heddon Street. After visiting the store we will have a coffee stop at Rapha Clubhouse, before returning to Clapham Common.
Although we cycle on mainly quiet roads, it may well be busy in Central London and you should be confident riding in traffic. This is not a ride for beginners.
Ensure you are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions and that your bike is in good working order. Double check your details on your lets ride profile are up-to-date, in particular that we have a phone number for you. If you don’t have a mobile put your home number in the mobile phone box.

Bowie Inspired Route, into town. Murals, sight of ZIggy Album picture and a pop up Bowie Shop on Heddon Street.

This is a route through town, so there will be roads but the traffic will be lighter on a Monday Morning

We will stop for a cuppa at the Rapha Coffee Shop, where we can store the bikes inside or lock outside.

Bring some money for a coffee and any bowie goods you might want from the pop up shop.

You should be comfortable on roads in a group.
