Breeze to 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 Rosehill Recreation Ground and along the Wandle Trail to Merton Abbey Mills using a mixture of cycle paths and quiet streets. Covid-19 Guidance: Please do not attend the if you or someone in your household has symptoms of Covid-19 or you have been asked to self-isolate.

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; if the café is busy, we can take our drinks out and on the picnic benches outside.

Wrap up warm and please bring a helmet, water, snacks, a small lock and money for the café stop. You will need to bring your own equipment including a pump, inner tube, and tyre levers. You may also wish to bring a face mask and alcohol hand gel. Make sure that your bike is in good working order and that the tyres are pumped up.

We never leave anyone behind
