I specialise in a half board 7 day fixed centre sightseeing cycling holiday ,called currently London and The river Thames, by bike for a minimum of 6 cyclists and a maximum of approximately 12 (this can be increased slightly as the boats now take up to 14 bikes or I have in the past used two boats. The hotel is situated in Gidea Park in The London Borough of Havering.
Day I :- Arrive at our hotel between 3pm and 7 pm . Stay 6 nights.
Day2:- A ride first of all to see the local area of country lanes, villages, woods and country parks, The London Borough of Havering is one of London's greenest with gently dramatic scenery.
Day 3:- Travel by bike and train to take you and your bike on a river trip to London and its famous sights with a fun ride through East London Parks and side streets back to the hotel.
Day 4 :- A train assisted ride to where the River Thames meets the sea at Southend on sea which has the worlds longest pier at one and one third miles. After sampling the wonderful sea food at the old fashioned town of Leigh on sea we go off-road through Hadleigh Country park on an easy to cycle route. Train home .
Day 5 :- Cycle to the world heritage site at Greenwich taking our bikes on the cable car high above the river Thames with extensive views in all directions.
Day 6 (usually Sun) :- Back up to London with train assistance there and Back for a grand finale of iconic London sights . Too many to mention, you name it we probably ride past it stopping for snippets of information from yours truly.,
Day 7 :- The holiday finishes after breakfast.
NB Daily cycling distances will be up to 35 miles per day and although there will be some hills the terrain is mostly flat and not very demanding. In recent years superb dedicated cycle lanes have been laid out in central London making cycling a joy to behold and not the dangerous place of 10 or so years ago.
