• 2014-03-08 - Astronomical Observatory Stargazing ride

    **Start 2pm, The statue outside the observatory, overlooking the docklands**
    

    So a few of you will know I dabble with some telescopes for a day job, so I thought it would be cool to combine a bike ride with the chance to show off the telescopes I can get access to.

    Start at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich and head through central all the way North to Mill Hill and the beautiful surroundings of the Watford bypass. A relatively short 20-30 miles at a sociable pace with some curated stops at notable parts of London associated with the stars.

    Once we're there we will have a tour of the 5 telescopes on site and weather depending some observing of a planet, the moon some stars etc.

    From there it's 10 miles back to central or the train on Capital Connect goes to St Pancras.

    As it's a small site total numbers would be limited to 20 or so maximum and I'd need numbers up front...
