This ride starts at 11:30am and will last approximately 1 hour and is a good opportunity to cycle around central London.
We can either stop for refreshments before the ride if we have time, but please bring a snack and water to keep you going. There are a few cafes and public toilets in Hyde park.

After the LCC ride we will return via the same route, I will show you the meeting point before we join the LCC ride. We can stop for refreshments at the Grand Junction cafe by St Mary Magdalene Church before picking up the canal tow path home.

Please make sure that your bike is in good working order and carry a spare inner tube. Hybrid tyres are preferable as the canal tow path is a bit bumpy in places. Helmets are advisable as we will be cycling in central London. Please bring money/card and a lock for when we stop.
