Wednesday 17th January. After a freezing cold night, how many would be brave (or even foolhardy) enough to ride, & would it be safe ? A quick pre amble on local Roads, with no Ice to be seen, I decided we should be OK to go, after 10 cancellations, 6 brave Cyclists left via Fairfield, the London Rd track, Norbiton, Kingston gate of Richmond Park, to Sheen gate, Motlake, the first of 4 level crossings, set the trend, -at least a 3 Minute wait at each👎 -, Chiswick Bridge, Grove park (2nd crossing), Chiswick Green, Acton (3rd & 4th crossing), Ealing Common, North Ealing, Pitshanger Park, Perivale, Medway village, – a missed turn, not quite hiding in plain site-, Greenford, to Northolt for lunch at ‘the Greenwood Hotel (Wetherspoons), (and a delightful Art Deco interior), -a very congested A312, Petts Hill, due to HS2 work-, Northolt Village, then a more pleasant surprise, a new Cycle path, still under construction, but 1/2 Mile already usable 👍-, Southall, Norwood Green, Osterley Park (Photo)- with Ducks & other water birds doing some Ice dancing in the background-, Osterley, Hounslow, Whitton, to Kneller Gardens for Tea & refreshments, Strawberry hill, Teddington, Hampton wick, Kingston Bridge, to finish back in Kingston. Total 30 Miles, special thanks to John E for back marking. Map:- www.plotaroute.com/route/909611
