Rapha cross ride tomorrow morning which finishes at the Rapha Cycle Club by 1pm to watch the Mens Elite race with a free beer (as long as they work out how to get around the geoblock).

Time:
9.30am for a 9.40am depart.
Ride leaders:

Ride details:
Heading north from Victoria Park our route will take in as much hidden greenery as possible as we make first for the marshes, then follow the river Lea up past the huge reservoirs that provide London’s drinking water. At Ponders End we’ll cut east, where a short road section takes us to Hawk Wood and the route’s only serious climb, the 91-meter high Pole Hill.
After catching our collective breath and enjoying the great views back towards town we’ll drop down into the forest proper. Amongst the old growth trees we’ll explore some of the twisty singletrack the forest has to offer, joining up the sections with some of the more sedate graded horse trails.
Depending on time and conditions we’ll head towards High Beach before turning back to return towards East London along the Lea. Aiming to return to the Rapha Café for 1pm, the promise of a free beer and screening of the Cyclocross World Champs should help keep fatigue at bay.
