By popular demand, we'll be going to Hampton Lido on Christmas Eve!

Details:

Meeting point: 8.15 at Brockwell Lido for a 8.30 departure.

Half way point (51km): Cinnamon Cafe in Windsor (eta 11am)

Hampton lido is then at 78km (~12.30/1pm) and you'll clock up a cheeky century if you make it all the way back to Herne Hill (~3pm). 

Route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/11428433

Ride classification: Explorer 100km, estimated speed 20-22km/hr, elevation ~500m

What do you need to bring?

  • Bike in good working order (please pump up tyres and check your brakes/gears/chains are in good condition).
  • Spare inner tubes, bike pump and tyre levers
  • Bike locks
  • Appropriate clothing and nutrition for the weather and ride speed
  • Swim gear (the pool is a toasty 28 degrees so no neoprene needed)
  • Money for swim entry (£7.40) and cafe

And all are welcome to head to mine (very nearby) afterwards for traditional recovery fare of mulled wine/cider and mince pies.

Please post below if you want to join and pm me your mobile number if I don't already have it.

I will meet you at Hampton Lido then cycle back to Herne Hill

Fab, great to have you all along!!

Rory and Emily; will prob be just after 9am at Roehampton Gate or 9.15 at Kingston Gate (I go anticlockwise round the park!)

Margaret and Nicola; we'll aim for 12.30 at Hampton Lido but will message if it we're running a little late!

Any more for any more?!
