Victoria
Park Loop GPX
File
Met
Sam on the canal at about 11.30 and we rode east
along the Regent's Canal. We cut through Victoria
park to get onto the Hertford Union Canal, rode
up to the River Lee and stopped at the Crate
Brewery.
First
we tried their house IPA - 5.8% ABV,
it was delicious! We then went on to this week's
guest Ale, Axe Edge - 6.8% ABV
a real winter brew from Buxton Brewery in Derbyshire,
scrumptious, I could actually taste honey in it.
LOL! The pizza wasn't bad either. *****
Rode
back through Finsbury Park and did a circuit of
the Emirates stadium. FOREVER
ARSENAL!

I
met Sam in Regent's Park just before 1 PM, Neils
caught up with us on Portland Place. We rode from
there to Hyde Park Corner, down Constitution Hill,
past the palace and through Victoria to Lambeth
Bridge. As we got onto the bridge Pete drove past
and Chris was already there when we got to Lambeth
Palace.
There
was a very good turnout considering that the weather
forecast was pretty grim, I counted at least thirty.
Our ride leader
Charlie Holland was excellent, he had
a really good knowledge of the local
history and is clearly a very passionate
cyclist.
After
a very informative and enjoyable ride, we rode back
to Regent's
park for refreshments before parting
company at around 7 PM.
Everyone
on the ride received a bag
of freebies courtesy
of Barclays Cycle Hire & Lambeth council.
Riders:
Chris, Neils, Pete & Louis,
Sam and Yours Truly.

Rode
down the Regent's canal from King's Cross to Victoria
Park, took a short break by the lake before heading
up the Hertford Union canal to the Lee River navigation.
Went north on the river to Springfield Park, then
headed west through Stoke Newington to Clissold
Park where I met up with Chris.
I
will from now on refer to this route as the Victoria
Park Loop.
