Nature Reserves and Green Spaces of the Lower Lea

The Nature Reserves Ride is a leisurely, mostly off road tour nature reserves green spaces along the Lower Lea including the English Garden in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Middlesex Filter Beds, Walthamstow Wetlands, the Wetlands of the QEOP, the Cody Dock Reedbeds, Bow Ecology Park and East India Dock. Bring your binoculars as the ride is especially good for birdspotting!

It is predominantly off road with some stretches of quiet roads and is suitable for those who have started or are returning to cycling and wish to regain confidence. There are some short sections of towpath and unmetalled pathway. About 18 miles with plenty of opportunity to stop for coffee or light refreshment.

This ride is being put on by Newham Cyclists which is part of the London Cycling Campaign.

Please do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19. The safety of our volunteers and participants is key to us.

We are unable to take unaccompanied minors.

We may contact you after the ride to ask you about your experiences and will let you know more ways to sign up to information from the London Cycling Campaign
