Bushy Park and the Thames Path

This is a lovely ride through Bushy Park and along the Thames - flat, circular, and suitable for all kinds of bike. There's plenty to see along the way too - from the boats cruising up and down the river, to the deer grazing at historic Hampton Court, complete with its magnificent golden gates.  We will start by the Diana Fountain in the centre of Bushy Park and do a loop of the park on the paths and trails before crossing over around Hampton Court gardens and following the river Thames path The nearest station is Hampton Court for those wishing to travel by train to the start of the ride. Please wear suitable clothing for the weather and bring a drink if it is hot. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  It’s a good idea to bring some water, snack to keep you going and money for if we stop at a cafe. We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. We hope to see you for this lovely steady ride around a beautiful area of West London.
