Ealing Cycling Campaign 2010 Rides & Events Programme Click here for previous ride reports To be alerted to future rides sign up to our newsletter click here
Our rides are particularly well suited to the social rider and typically follow river and canal towpaths - it's surprising how far one can cycle in London on quiet routes. We invariably stop for lunch and coffee although a packed lunch might be called for depending on the facilities available. Participants come from all walks of life with women riders particularly well represented. Why not get in touch with us soon to learn more? Unless otherwise stated contact our rider co-ordinator at rides@ealingcycling.org.uk for details of rides. Though we aim to take a common sense approach to safety on our rides, all those attending do so at their own risk. Always remember to wear suitable clothing and bring your lights and a pump. A spare inner tube is always a good idea.
Sunday 5th September 2010 London Sky Ride Join us and 10,000s of others on the main London Sky Ride. We've led rides into the feeder hubs and onto the main event for many years now and 2010 is no exception. Leader: Lots Time: 10:00am and 11:00am Place: Ealing Town Hall Steps, New Broadway W5 * Sunday 3rd October 2010 Ruslip Lido A trip to the Ruslip Lido go over Harrow on the Hill and the back roads to the Lido itself. Return via the canal or a more direct route depending on the weather. The food at the Lido is not as good as it used to be, and certainly the service is slow on a Sunday so bring a picnic. Leader: David Time: 10.00am prompt Place: Ealing Town Hall Steps, New Broadway W5 TBC Amersham & the Edge of the Chilterns Early start, Ealing Town hall 8am ~ Ickenham Pump 9am ~ Amersham 1pm ~ Ealing Town hall 4pm (nb: not planning on needing lights, but always a good idea to carry, just in case in winter). 60 miles - longer than our normal Sunday spins. Map at here Scenic quiet lanes past Chalfont St Peter - circuit around Colshill (for views of Old Amersham ) and through Hodgemoor Woods, down scenic lanes (Bottom House Farm Hill) descending to Old Amersham and on to Amersham, for cafe lunch stop. Exhilarating return, fast descents, past golf courses & Universities... planned to be back for 4pm. Leader: Tim Time: 8.00am prompt Place: Ealing Town Hall Steps, New Broadway W5 * TBC European Tour Visit all 26 countries of the European Union in one day. Unless Turkey joins by then in which case it will be 27. Join us for a ride around the centre and west of London central to visit all embassies – some slightly busier roads than normal Route is about 30 miles with no planned stop for lunch - we'll improvise depending on where we are.
