Lee Valley : From Source to Thames

awful isn't it. I live nearby. there's a petition pushing for some more effective action to be taken which could do with a few more signatures...

https://www.change.org/p/river-lea-oil-disaster-we-demand-effective-environmental-protection-for-our-waterways

would be up for doing this ride too, I've only ever been up as far as Ware and would really like to do the whole lot in reverse!

ooops sorry missed the numerous bumps

path will be pretty muddy in the upper reaches during winter , it is packed mud that is well used
nothing a cyclocross with knobblies couldn't handle though
i've done it with fixed riders on skinny tyres in moderate mud, a few heart in mouth moments as wheels slide but no offs

the first proper sunny spring day will be my cue to do this again temps at 16c or above

Just make sure you remember to bring a milk bottle with you.

^eeeer ,why?

next tues weds thurs look good weatherwise
warm 20+ but not full sun

any takers

I'm in. I need to book a day off so will plump for Weds at this stage.

Seems like a sound idea now that I'm not restricted to just 23c tyres, count me in.

Finally, one that coincides with a day off. I vote Weds, pls.

weds then

shall we say 10:20 at st pancras
catching the 10:38 out to leagrave
midland road entrance just opposite brill place, where the old building ends and the new bit of the terminal starts

sounds good to me

I'll get the shorts out of storage.

can I come?

Great, I hope to be there ... unless an amazing job comes up for that day (welcome to my so-called-life where plans are vague).

@picco see dicki’s post^^

@Skülly yep, I'm in

everyone is 100% welcome
i won't hold my breath skully but would be good to see you on the ride

there will be couple of patches of muddy mud, probably 3-5 miles worth all in,
nothing a pair of 25c tyres couldn't handle with a bit of care

AKA the fish n' chips ride. Have a good one!

you couldn't arrange to work from home ?

Poo, Im away,,,,,next ride please

Hmm, perhaps...

Too soon for me, but another ride in about 3-4 weeks and I’m in.
