Breeze Through Winter: Merton Abbey Mills

This ride is for those who are new or returning to cycling and would like to ride with others, explore the local area and enjoy a chat over coffee and cake. This will be a gentle ride from Nonsuch Park and along the Wandle Trail to Merton Abbey Mills using a mixture of cycle paths and quiet streets.

The paths along the Wandle are very pretty, there are art installations and relics from the river’s industrial past. However, some of the paths can be a bit muddy or slippery from wet leaves in places and tyres with some tread, rather than smooth tyres, would be better for this ride.

Our café stop will be the Belgian Brasserie within the market.

Wrap up warm and please bring a helmet, water, spare inner tube, a small lock and money for the café stop. Make sure that your bike is in good working order and that the tyres are pumped up.

We never leave anyone behind; the plan is to enjoy being out on our bikes as a group and have cake along the way.
