Please book by 30th May and cancel your ticket in advance if you are unable to attend.

The Route:

We will head out towards Lee, Eltham and Bexley and Dartford.
And once we get to the Crossing, we will make sure our booking is received and cross on the Bike Bus Shuttle towards Purfleet. Then on to Wennington and Rainham. We aim to take a Tea/Coffee break between Rainham and Silvertown, or in the surrounding areas on this scenic ride. We will continue on the North side of the Thames Path, back through Greenwich Foot Tunnel before we head back to Lewisham, where the ride will end. Please note: We may decide to reverse this route, meaning we might head for Greenwich first, take the foot tunnel, ride towards Silvertown and Rainham. Then get the shuttle back coming through Dartford, Eltham to Lee and Back to Lewishan. Either way we intend to enjoy the vibes.
