Below are the events Tower Hamlets Wheelers will be running during this year's Bike Week. All of our events are free and everyone is invited. We particularly welcome those new to cycling and have some easy rides lined up during the week (and the rest of the summer) to help improve your riding and increase your fitness.

First-timers Longer Ride

Meet on top of the Green Bridge, Mile End Park E3 [LCG10: Ac42 map]

Test yourself over a longer distance than our usual easy rides. The pace will still be easy but we will cover upto 50 miles with convenient drop-out points along the way if you would prefer to aim for a shorter distance. This ride was a great success last year so give it a go!
