The city as in london

does anyone have any suggestions for routes at lunch, just a few miles 10ish? as there's only so much time available

any quieter areas? or a nice loop that isn't complete carnage. I'm toying with wapping or maybe a loop round the isle of dogs

My circuits class on a thursday has been canceled and since I'll have already done the upper body weights wise I'm at a loss as what to do.

Thanks in advance

    Wapping High Street is cobbled in sections, but quiet compared to the rest of town.
    FCN 2-4.

    yup I'd go for the coffee + bun option to be honest.

    yeah I know about the cobbles and would avoid like the plague

    out for lunch today but there is a nice 8.5 mile loop around docklands I might try at somepoint... maybe not 'nice' but you know

  • Victoria Park? I don't know if you can ride bikes in there but it might be worth investigating...
