Olympic Loop

This is a pleasant and relaxing route from the View Tube Café making use of the towpaths and cycle paths of East London. At the start of the route you can enjoy spectacular views of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from the sightseeing platform from which you will see the 2012 Games Stadium, the ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower, the London Aquatics Centre and in the distance the Stratford Velopark with its iconic Velodrome. The route makes use of the towpaths along the Hertford Union and Regents Canal and along the route you'll pay a visit to  Victoria Park, one of the oldest parks in London, before looping back round to the Olympic Park. Please note that although this ride is suitable for all bike types we recommend using a mountain bike or a hybrid bike with wide tyres. If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
