Tooting to Hammersmith Loop- Lunch by River

This is a ride on mostly quiet roads down to the river at Putney. We will then cycle along the river to Beautiful Hammersmith Bridge, and use the cycle routes to visit the lovely Thursday farmers /food market on the square outside the Lyric Theatre on Kings Street. This is a gentle paced ride, and would be suitable for older children or children in bike seats. We do go along a couple of larger roads briefly, but these sections could be walked. I can't print a link here but you can look up Lyric Square Market, Kings Street, Hammersmith. This market has some amazing options for food, including paella, Rainbow Creations raw salads and wraps (my personal favourite), Honest Carrot, Cake stalls and others. We can all select items to dine on or bring a sandwich and cycle back to the river bank to lunch together near the bridge. We will then return back to Tooting by coming along the river via the North Bank, and along through the park at Putney Bridge, around the back of the sports fields in fulham to cross back using the cycle lanes on Wandsworth Bridge. This ride will go ahead unless there is heavy rain. Feel free to call me and let me know if you can't come along on the day, or get in touch if you have any questions.

You may want to bring a spare inner tube and pump in case (although we haven't had a puncture yet). You may want a basket or pannier in case you decide to buy some food to take home - there is a baked goods stall (or two) and a veg stall with pressed juices. to name a few.
