Group DIY night ride around London. Starts at 10pm from the mezzanine McDonalds in Victoria Station (closes at 11). Post-ride brekky at Victoria Station Wetherspoons where the taps turn on at 8am (opens at 6). A great ride to aclimatise to cold night riding, test lights/gear, all safe in the warmth of the city.
Conceptually born out of riding locally during lockdown, this route stays inside the Greater London boundaries. Touring London’s boroughs on empty streets sounds great fun! Be safe, take a decent lock, perhaps bring your own food.
Group DIY Registration for AUK members – we are not sure why as it is under 200km so no points available, although may count towards other awards?
