2009-10-04 Sun 11am - Ride West

11am - Sunday 4th October

Similar idea to the Ride East ride, but in the West instead, innit.
For those who don't head west so often, meet at Hyde Park Corner for a boozy picturesque afternoon jaunt.

Distance is 30ish miles
Scenic route / Social pace

sounds cool, hope to be free........ how much spinny will be?????????

We should pick up some pace from Barnes and through Richmond Park. The sections along the Thames will obviously be more of a cruise.

I might tweak the route so that we get a proper lap of RP, rather then cutting through the middle

a lap of RP in the middle makes things more exiting

"a lap of RP in the middle makes things more exiting"

This looks great, Sam. I'm not 100% sure yet whether I can make that day, but hopefully I'll know soon.

If I can come I will. Looks good.

Made my way round the route, plenty of nice scenery and a good mix of pace.

I'll make a few tweaks though. Notably, the section around the back of Kew Gardens is less suitable for road bikes than i remember, so that will be axed in favour of Syon Park.

Looks like fun. I'll have to see if I'm free that day but would love to join.

Route Updated

After a bit of thought, i've squeezed in some more sights without increasing the distance of 30miles. Hampton Court and Ham house now get a visit along with a few other places of intrest.

The update also means that we'll finish at West Beers occasional home.

I'll try and resist making any further changes....
