Hmm, think I'll avoid the towpath then. Cheers for the info :)
Met two other cyclists on the way home tonight, one chap heading to Hertford and the other to Cheshunt so invariably ended up caning it. Rode the last seven miles alone, by which time I was absolutely spent; cold and with calves and hamstrings cramping up. All I could think about was drinking a huge mug of sweet tea and eating anything and everything.
Aiming to ride again tomorrow unless I completely seize up tonight.

Super late reply, sorry. River route is very bumpy (as in, sharp rocks) between the M25 and the north circular. I have been doing it on 35c tyres, but prefer the A10. Most people are on MTBs. There are also sometimes horses on the path near the reservoir, which is fun but also quite annoying. More people/cyclists/dogs the further in you get (so, once you're past walthamstow).
