All Day Ride to Greenwich, order of play

 Here are the groups for Saturday's ride.


The forecast temperatures are high, though there will allegedly be a north easterly breeze. 

Please cover yourself in sun cream, bring plenty of water as well as a spare inner tube, cover your head and remember all day to wait in the shade, not in the sun.

Because of the heat we are not returning through Camberwell and Brixton, but along the river.  Much of the morning route, and all three victualing stops, are in shade.  Leaders please stop for drinks breaks.

If anyone is overheating, there is an opportunity to get a train home from London Bridge (three quarters of an hour after lunch), Blackfriars, or Waterloo.  Just tell your leader and they can point out the stations, which are very close to the route.

Tim Gibbons will leave North Cheam crossroads at 9.15 promptly to lead those meeting there to Beddington Park.  Lorraine, Stuart and Dawn have each told me they will start from Cheam but you don't need a ticket, Tim will lead anybody who has gathered and wants to be on the ride.

My understanding is that everyone else is making their own way to Beddington Park Pavilion Cafe from where the ride departs.

Coffee will be at Ayla on Kent House Road (about 1 hour).  Lunch at the Dog and Bell in Deptford (a further 1.5 hours including a stop at the Greenwich Observatory).  Tea at the hut in Battersea Park (1.5 hours after leaving lunch).  Those that need should also be able to get a drink at MED in Merton Abbey Mills, the finish (a final 1 hour), before going home.
