Jim's Evening Rides 2018  

 

The public rides are now over for 2018, after a triumphal grand finale on 23rd Aug.  But there are some informal rides planned, at a new meetup. Scroll down to see them.  

 

Meetup 6pm outside the Apothecary pub at Lister Square

The old Simpsons unit. Behind what we used to call Peter's Yard, near the new Söderberg, and between Lauriston Place and the Meadows.  

In addition to the pub and Söderberg there's a Malaysian that does a mean Won Ton soup.   

The eight benches you can see in the picture are public so you don't need to buy anything to use them. 

Zoom out using '-' button to see where this is. 

and here's a Strava trace from Middle Meadow walk
