Bikes in the air.

Crystal Palace

A warm up for the Sunday ride. 16 miles. Loop of Crystal Palace, 1850s dinosaurs, most amazing swimming pool building and a shetland pony sized dog in Dulwich Park. Lesson learnt: Sydenham Hill is a really nice road to ride down.

The Route

Alexander Cullen has provided us with the route. 702 miles up the country, it goes up the left hand side adding 80 miles, but more greenery we are assured. A Cullen skink and swim in the sea await us.
