From Croydon lots of off road to Greenwich and Blackheath and Thames Path to Canada Water station
To Greenwich Park and Blackheath through parks from Croydon including the Country Park and the cyclist’s gem Waterlink Way. We will break for lunch in Blackheath then continue on the Thames Path and offroad ways to Canada Water that will be a pleasant surprise for anyone new to them. The ride ends at the Overground station on the line to West Croydon.
The route is 23 miles long. I have been underestimating ride time so I will say there is 3.5 hours cycling time to be realistic. Adding time for lunch and stops makes the ride to Canada Water about 5 hours.
Please bring a spare inner tube.
