We expect to return to the start points by about 17:30.  Some participants may choose to leave or join the ride along the way.

As far as possible, the routes will go through quieter, characterful streets, many of which form part of the London Cycle Network.

The rides are free, but you will need an Open Garden Squares Weekend ticket, allowing entry to all the gardens.  If you have not already bought one, you can buy it on the morning for £9. It is valid for both days.

No need to book - just turn up.
