Metropolitan Cycle Ride (9th June 2013)

Post by The Raven »

Anyone up for a cycle ride from Chesham to Aldgate?

Perhaps on a Sunday this summer?
With a pub lunch midway?
Taking the Met up to deepest, darkest Chesham?

Wouldn't it be more pleasant to cycle it in the other direction? City to country?

It's over 200 miles for me, so I'll graciously decline the offer.

Here's a basic route here

I'd be using my car and parking at Chesham with my bike in the back.
