Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle 2018

Got to say that Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle 2018 was so much fun! The weather could not have been better, was dry, mainly sunny, but a bit on windy side at times!

It was even better, since this year, since I talked a mate into joining me! Hello Mark! He enjoyed it, so much! He said, he’s more than up for joining me next year! Let’s just hope, he does not come off his bike next year!

We did 35.73 miles, I was hoping to do more… Then Mark, has not been doing that much cycling this year, so his body, is not fully use to doing longer cycles. He’s now got a year, to get himself ready for next years event!

Wee look back, to my very first time in London!

Here are some photos from the very first time, I went to London! Way back in November 2002 with my boyfriend of the time… Just to think, I was only 21 or 22 at the time! Like another, life time ago!

Of course, I’ve been back, many, many times since!

Regent’s Canal, Tick ✅

I can now say, that along with Cooper. I’ve now walked the whole of the Regent’s Canal in London from Limehouse Basin to Paddington Basin.

The first part of the walk took us from Limehouse Basin to London Canal Museum a distance of 7.3 miles!

Then we took a boat trip from the London Canal Museum through the Islington Tunnel, which is the longest canal tunnel in the south of England!  If ever in the London area, I would really recommend you do! More info can be found out at canalmuseum.gttix.com/productdetails.aspx?productid=4720.

Then the second part of the walk took us from the London Canal Museum to Paddington Basin a distance of 5.2 miles!

Here are some photos from the walk!
