🌳 The route: Starting at Putney Bridge (home of the famous Oxford/Cambridge boat race start line), we will be cycling beside the river Thames (following it's twists and turns), passing many historical bridges, including Hammersmith Bridge, Cheswick Bridge, Kew Bridge, Twickenham Bridge, arriving at Richmond Bridge where we will take a short break and take in the views. We then take the steep incline towards Richmond Park, stopping along the way for another stunning view from Richmond Hill overlooking river Thames. We continue via the Richmond Park's Tamsin Trail until we reach Pembroke lodge (toilets are available here), where we will take another break. We then continue the trail around the park and head to the beautiful surrounding of the central pen pond where we will have a lunch break. If you're lucky you may even see some of the 600 deer residing in the park. Finally, we head back to Putney Station/Library to complete our journey Insha'Allah.
