2013-09-01 – Poets Ride

Sylvia and Ted In Repose

Famous poets have lived all over London. It’s part of the reason London’s Famous London is so Famous. Miss Mouse and I thought it’d be fun to see where some of them lived and maybe hear a bit of their poetry along the way. This is about a 20 mile loop through central LDN that takes in lovely neighbourhoods. It also does go by Hampstead so there is one hill involved. The ride also passes (but does not stop) by Chris Martin’s house in Hampstead, however if you like that kind of “poetry” then this is not the ride for you. This ride is Eliot, Wordsworth, Plath, Yeats etc. We’ll probably stop for coffee/beer somewhere along the way as well. Spokecard and Poetry Ride Memorabilia included.

Depart 11 am outside Shakespeare’s Globe (obviously).
....and everyone who does the ride has to speak in verse for the duration.
