I thought I might get a few miles in on the geared bike on Sunday, to make sure it’s ready for its holiday in Yorkshire and for its next trip up to Southwold. But other stuff intervened until about 3.30 when I asked son #2 if he’d like to go for a ride. I suggested a ride to Downe and back but he said he wanted to stay in town, so we pootled up the Pool River, through Ladywell, Lewisham, St Johns, Deptford, Greenwich, Charlton (brief foray into Maryon Park – what a find!) and Woolwich. Son #2 said let’s take the ferry, which we did (watching terns close up was pretty cool) and then wandered around near KGV before deciding we were in danger of getting lost and being stupidly late home, so we got the DLR to Poplar and cycled down through Westferry, Crossharbour, Mudchute and Island Gardens to rejoin our route at Greenwich. A good four hours out on the bike in fine weather.
