Christmas Day Bike Ride
This year I wasn’t biking alone. It was a little cold, but since there was no rain, Char (Lorie’s mom) joined me for a ride around London on the only day of the year when no city buses run. During the day, the temperature dropped, but we never got rained on, so it ended up being a nice 3-hour ride. I made a rough map of our route, which included the following locations:
- Going past the Royal Albert Hall with a short stop at the Albert Memorial
- Through Hyde Park up to Speakers’ Corner, but nobody was speaking today
- Around Piccadilly Circus, which had more cars this year, probably because the weather was nice so people were out and about.
- A short break for coffee (not me) at Leicester Square then down through Trafalgar Square
- Down to the Thames River where we saw the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and The London Eye.
- Past Buckingham Palace and up to Hyde Park Corner
- Then back to the river across from the Battersea Power Station (used on Pink Floyd’s album Animals)
- Over the Chelsea Bridge, through Battersea Park, over the Albert Bridge and back home
I’ve posted some photos too.
