Photo op Sunday on what was a glorious day. Spring really is just around the corner.

Just 3 of us for today's ride. Liza and myself got there for 9.30 and hung around for a bit. Just as were thought it was just going to be the 2 of us TC1 rolled in.

Liza wanted lot's of photos today so the camera phone was working over time.

We greeted the guards as usual.

We then headed to Greenwich to see HMS Bulwark

Then coffee was had and Liza saw the view from the top of Greenwich hill for the first time.

Then as a change, we cycled along the Thames path and headed towards the ferry.

Past the dome

The Thames Barrier

These things ?????

Got some final directions

Who needs GPS

and onto the ferry

We then headed through glamorous East London and back to Hyde Park.

Congratulations to Liza, who got her first 50 mile ride done today (or 80km as she likes to call it)

Not the fastest of rides today but a reminder of what the Sunday London rides are all about.

Looks like you had a nice ride today, nice day for it. I headed over sauf london way via the Eiffel tower (Crystal Palace com tower) for a pootle and lunch at a friends. Tentative riding on soreish knees from a FREEZING cold fnrttc.

Hope to see some of you next sunday.

Have a good week.

Our foreign spiderlike, anime looking thing is Antony Gormley's Quantum Cloud.

Anyway, it doesn't look like a 10 second window, it looks like a permanent tunnel exit!

And besides, Luke captures the reflection in Liza's specs beautifully - he only had 7.6 seconds window and captured it well.

Hello Dave

 

[Liza]

Lovely to have seen you again on Sunday Dave. Thanks for leading the way and doing the Thames path, great fun. I was glad you knew where we were going as I didn’t have a clue .


Nice pictures guys. I feel a little inspired to get a little “aim and shoot” myself now.


BentMikey, good to meet you, nice ride, no blue though?


It was good to have done my first (50 miles) 80km, thanks for the help and encouragement with clocking the remaining miles Luke, hopefully the beginning of doing some longer rides .

Yet another glorious Sunday ride, oh yes and the scone was delicious to.

In fairness though, that is some good quality rump.
