Chilled / beginner-friendly lido touring - Ware Priory Lido Sunday 1st July
A new one for me, but I have just discovered the 30m lido at Ware Priory: only 50km away, and heated so even the fairest of fair-weather swimmers will not need a wetsuit!

As always, pace will be strictly social/touring (we will start at ~20km/hr but absolutely all welcome so we will go the speed of the slowest). In fact this is a nice beginner ride even if you don't fancy the swim at the end!
I suggest a 9.15 meet / 9.30 departure from Brockwell lido car park so that we arrive in time for the 12.30-13.30 session. Then perhaps a spot of lunch there and for those who want to we can ride back. There is also a train option back to Liverpool Street which takes an hour.
I've mapped a route here, hopefully around 2hrs 30 riding each way https://www.strava.com/routes/13777023
Don't forget to bring usual bike nutrition, drinks and inner tubes, plus your swimming gear, a decent bike lock and some money for lunch, the lido (£4/£5), and the train back (~£10).

Hi Erika. Sorry to bail, but I think I'm going to opt for a long swim on Sunday morning as it's my last chance before Derwent, so I won't be able to join you for lido touring this time. Hope you have a great ride :)

Sorry for the late reply - couldn't seem to get the message to send on my phone yesterday. Unfortunately Im not going to be going anywhere near a bike for a while (sprained knee!) but the route is posted above so if you guys still want to go then please please do.

Sorry to hear about your knee Erika, hope you’re not in too much pain. I am going to go out to Westerham tomorrow instead with Sarah and some others if anyone wants to do that route instead? We’re not swimming but will be coffee and brunch/lunch stop. Sarah has posted it on the forum.
