Meandering counter-clockwise through the quietways of the East End, the
route first heads towards Shadwell before joining the Thames Path edging the Isle of Dogs. We then take in a loop of Canary Wharf before heading to Blackwall then continue through Poplar before catching the canal path towards the QE Olympic Park where we will have a coffee stop on the 11th mile at the
The View Tube. We will then head for a circuit of Victoria Park exiting onto 4 Pound Path then crossing the Green Bridge (which is yellow underneath!) to arrive back at our start point.
Relatively flat and at a leisurely pace, this ride welcomes all abilities, but please note the 15 mile distance with 464 feet of climbs.
This ride has a 2.4 mile section on riverside tracks which may be bumpy for bikes with skinny road tyres. We should be offering an alternative 2 mile road route for those who do not fancy these riverside tracks.
There is a feeder ride starting from
Gants Hill at 8.30am and passing Stratford at 8.50am. There is also a feeder ride starting from
Tower Hamlets at 9am. You could consider also joining a feeder ride if it passes near you.
eBikes are welcome.
