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 up to 50 miles with convenient drop-out points along the way if you would prefer to aim for a shorter distance. If you commute regularly you may be surprised how far you can ride. This ride is always popular so give it a go!
