Bikeathon

A couple of years ago I went for a bike ride on a sunny Sunday in the summer. I went down the Lea Valley to Old Ford, cut across the Hertford Union canal just under Victoria Park and then went down through Mile End on the Regent's Canal. As I got to the edge of the Isle of Dogs I suddenly found myself surrounded by cyclists. I seemed to fit in with them as most of them were wearing yellow tops (like me) so I though I'd join the action and ride around with them for a bit. They all had numbers on their backs saying 'London Bikeathon' and something about a leukaemia charity. I thought to myself 'this sounds like a good idea - I must remember to do this officially next year'. Then I rode back home and forgot all about it.

Yesterday, on a sunny summer's Sunday, I went for a bike ride. I went down the Lea Valley to Old Ford, cut across the Hertford Union canal just under Victoria Park and then went down through Mile End on the Regent's Canal.

They all had numbers on their backs saying 'London Bikeathon' and something about a leukaemia charity. I thought to myself 'Hmmmm....this seems strangely familiar'. It seems like a good idea. I hope I remember to do it next year.
