Freewheel-Central London

This was our third or fourth run out on our recently purchased mountain bikes. We've so far been up & down the Lea Valley through Hackney, up the Roman Rd., Grand Union Canal etc, this time we wanted to get ito the city and what better time to do it than when there's no cars around.

We met at The Emirates Stadium, Arsenal North London & proceeded at a leisurely pace into town. We all agreed that the busy meeting spots along the West End, were good fun but we enjoyed ourselves much more letting rip back east through the city on the embankment, going through all the tunnels you usually wouldn't cycle through. One of the more enjoyable aspects of London cycling imparticular seems to be exploring the City & thames to the east as you can really feel the spirit of the place along the wharfs and canals, especially at weekends.
Anyway it's good to support these projects, and it's good training for next weekend, the 1000k event in finsbury Park.
