Calling London cyclists

Here and the short- and medium-length rides you’ve always wanted to do. Any kind of bike will do: road, hybrid, commuter, city, folding, mountain, uni-cycle, etc. You probably already have all the equipment you need.

There are plenty of pubs and petrol stations along the way where we can refill water bottles and use the toilet. Along the way we’ll give each other mental and, if required, mechanical support.

This is not a race. There will be times when you wish you were in bed. But you’ll love it. The adrenalin buzz, the experience, the achievement.
