Weekend

[SimonMac]

Off to Bletchly Park, and the National Museum of Computing....I maybe a while as I guess you could take up a whole day wandering round

The weather looks rubbish and that would be one off the bucket list

Unless it's changed drastically it won't takes full day, it's very interesting none the less though, hope you enjoy yourself

Is that like a spud gun?

Yes but makes more of a mess on the windscreens of passing grockles

Thank you for asking.

Tonight I am going to see the new Irvine Welsh film Filth.

Tomorrow am going to watch QPR vs Barnsley then going to try Flat Iron Steak then Comedy Store. Sunday going for a bike ride somewhere around London (if i can find a good route) then off for a walk in Hatfield Forest.

Which bit of London are you in? Might be able to suggest some routes.

Staying in Clerkenwell, would appreciate it if you could. Currently riding around 20-25 miles

Flying back to the UK this evening. Probably MyCo paperwork the rest of the weekend.

Splendid, thanks. Nice having family together even though Junior is now in his "terrible two" mode! CM hasn't murdered him yet

Is anyone up to anything exciting?

I'm sure someone is. But not me.

Pretty much the same here. A visit to the gym & spa each day, Season 2 of Homeland and maybe some GTA V. Perhaps some dusting if I'm feeling adventurous.

Thanks for asking

Typical, the bit I've not really ridden around much. If you are planning on heading for Hatfield you could always follow route 12 out there, it's about 22 miles, and get the train back afterwards. The trouble with being right in the centre is you have to go out to start a ride anywhere interesting.

Follow the river west and you can head out to Richmond park for a couple of laps (7 miles a pop) and head home again.

Go south to the river, ride out to Isle of Dogs, cross through the foot tunnel to Greenwich and ride along the Thames path through Greenwich to the Woolwich ferry, cross the river again and head home. If you feel like some hills then Black Heath and Shooters Hill will give you a work out with a slight detour.

More hills can be found around Crystal Palace, Annerly Road, Central Hill and any of the side roads. Bonus of great views from the top if the weather is clear. Ride through Dulwich as well for some unexpected quaintness in Central London.

Heading North East you can pick up the Regents Canal path out towards STratford and the Olympic site, not a huge amount to see there but you can head north along the Lee River path which is a reasonably interesting route.

If all else fails head for regents park and do laps of the outer circle until you get bored with the rest of the looneys.

Best bet really is to hit google maps and turn on the cycling directions. This will show you the cycle routes on the map and give you an idea of places to ride.
