Plans for Ruislip Lido ride, 29 June

Lovely beach, but no swimming.

With the longer days we have time to do the complete ride to Ruislip Lido, which had to be shortened at the last attempt.  I can promise a nice cafe, a miniature train, and a surprisingly green route, almost all tarmac (with a bit of canal towpath on the way back - avoidable if necessary).

11s is at the Stables Cafe, Osterley Park (as advertised) - and if anyone's worried about finding it, I'll lead a feeder ride from Bushy Park leaving at 9.45am on request.   We'll meet  for the feeder ride outside the Teddington gate at the north end of Chestnut Avenue.

Tea at the Flying Cloud Cafe, next to Teddington Lock footbridge.  33 miles from 11s to tea and less than 1,000 feet of climbing.   I hope you can join us.

PS.  It's going to be hot.   Please bring water and sun lotion.
