Call the Midwife Ride

A relaxed 17km/10 mile circular ride exploring the Poplar area of Tower Hamlets where the Call the Midwife stories originate from. We will stop for coffee at The Ledger Building/Museum of Docklands then continue to Pepper Street/Cross Harbour where we will have a lunch stop. Lunch can be bought from one of the cafes there, the Tesco Supermarket or Asda Isle of Dogs, there is also seating available for those who bring their own food.

Families are welcome but children under 18 must be accompanied by and adult at all times. Children need to be riding without stabilisers and maintain an average speed of 5 miles per hour.

The ride is mainly on quiet streets, cycle and pedestrian only paths and cycle lanes. There is a small section along a major road which is a cycle route and small sections of canal side cycling.

There are a number of speed reduction gates, some sharp turns, kerb steps and short sections where we need to dismount and walk.
