One of the quietest days in the year on the roads and a perfect day for joining in all or part of Southwark Cyclists xmas day ride - either meet at 10am at Cutty Sark Gardens or at 11am at Southwark Needle (south side of London Bridge, by Evans Cycles) for a slow and very sociable ride round deserted London on the smiliest day of the year in wonderfully diverse company. Join in/drop out whenever or stay for a late lunch up Edgware Road. The ride costs nothing, there's no need to book or check that it's still on: it won't be cancelled.
I can't go on the ride this year but instead I'm aiming to nip on the bike to Hyde Park to watch the Serpentine Swimming Club's annual 'Peter Pan' 100 yard race which starts sharp at 9am.
