October Rides

Saturday 4 October
Walthamstow Family Bike Rides
Two rides to celebrate the Mini Holland currently trialling in Walthamstow Village: at 11am (a shorter ride) and at 1pm (a longer ride). Meet at the junction of Eden Road and Orford Road. See the previous post for more details.

The Sunday Cycle isn’t happening this month…
But Katja will be back in November!

Saturday 11 October
Bridget’s Breeze ride
A women’s-only (children welcome) gentle ride along River Lea and nearby, with a stop at a cafe.
The route is entirely traffic free, and uses the towpath, a path along the side of allotments, and a section of unused road. No hills. Meet at 9am, in the car park at the bottom end of Coppermill Lane by the railway, E17 7HG. We’ll be done at 10.45. Please book through this link!

Sunday 12 October
Walthamstow Family Bike Ride
A relaxed and enjoyable afternoon travelling by bicycle and exploring the nooks and crannies in and around our borough. Frisbees sometimes materialise when we hit a suitable open space.
We aim to stop off at a cafe at about half time, but we recommend you bring a snack and some water.
Meet at 1pm at the Orford Road/Church Lane junction, E17 9RW, next to the old postbox opposite the Ancient House … see the map.

Wednesday 15 October
Bridget’s Summer Evening Ride
Summer evenings are too glorious to miss so once a summery month we meet to enjoy them together. Join us for 6.30 departure outside Walthamstow Library. Back within a couple of hours.

Sunday 19 October
Nic’s offroad ride
Meet at 10.00 outside Walthamstow Library / Farmers’ Market for a few hours of mucky Epping Forestry.

Sunday 19 October
The E11 Ride
Meet outside Carlton House in Aylmer Road, off Leytonstone High Street (E11 3AD). If you have questions, call Dwight on 07973 131429.

Sunday 26 October
WFCycling Monthly ride
Meet at 10.15 outside Walthamstow Library / Farmers’ Market. The Market opens at 10am so there is just enough time for a hot cuppa or your weekly groceries. We are usually back by 3-4pm. This month we are considering the return to our tried and tested Land, Sea and Air Ride, to the Emirates Cable Car over Thames.

Sunday 2 November
The Sunday Cycle
Meet outside The Mill in Coppermill Lane at 11am. Return c. 2pm. If you have questions, email Katja on katjarosenberg@hotmail.com.
