Despite the threat of snow, 17 riders gathered
at Ealing Town Hall (and nobody dropped out enroute). There was a brief snow flurry at Black Park, but otherwise the weather was fine and generally sunny; the main bugbear was the cold headwind coming home. On the way to Black Park our route included (some very) obscure paths, a field, quiet side roads, country lanes, 50 yards beside a canal, and Sustran route 61 (though brief diversion needed on latter due to flooding). Hot food at the lakeside cafe in Black Park was welcome, and there was time for a stroll around the lake before returning. We used cycle routes to get through Uxbridge town center without too much traffic, then followed the cycle path beside the A40 to Perivale Park, then through Pitshanger Park and more side roads back to Ealing Town Hall (only 4 people left at this stage since everyone else had peeled off as they got near their homes). 32 miles overall - a pleasant leisurely ride. You can see the route on here Thanks to Murray for leading and Ben for back stopping. |
