***CANCELLED Summer Evening Ride - "The Top of The World" Wednesday 24 June 6.30pm CANCELLED***

Wednesday, 24 June 2026 - 6:30pm - 9:30pm

***CANCELLED CANCELLED CANCELLED*** Due to expected hot weather

Wheelers' Summer Evening Rides are fun, easy paced, stress busting rides for all skill levels exploring the green spaces of the borough and our neighbouring boroughs with pleasant company and mostly away from traffic.

To take advantage of the longer daylight we're heading south to what is locally called Thamesmead Tor. It's neither Thamesmead nor a Tor but is a man made mound in Woolwich called Gallions Reach with spectacular views over London, I call it The Top of The World. I'll also have one or two stories to tell. We'll cross the river on the Woolwich Ferry then, return via the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.

(If the lifts are out at the foot tunnel then we can cross the river using the DLR)

Date: Wednesday 24 June
Time: 6.30pm
Meet: Under the Green Bridge, Mile End, outside Costa Coffee (///pardon.rotate.wizard)

We really need to leave at 6.30pm sharp because it's a longer ride so please try to be on time. If you're going to be late then please call (don't WhatsApp or text). The ride is expected to finish at 9.30pm at a local pub. Do remember to bring your lights, lock and passport.

Ride difficulty: 
Easy/Moderate
Ride distance: 
13 miles

Rides information

Our rides are highlighted by "RIDE". You don't have to be a member to join in and we're also always looking for new ride ideas. Contact our Rides Co-ordinator for further information.

There is no need to register beforehand for a ride unless this is specifically stated, most rides are "turn up and go".

If you haven't ridden with us before please read our Ride Guidance Notes.

Please note that for train assisted rides we often cannot publish times until about 2 weeks beforehand because of the need to check engineering works. Also sometimes our ride leaders do have to change dates/times/routes at reasonably short notice. Generally this website will be up to date and also details will be sent out to our email groups, but if in doubt contact the ride leader or our rides co-ordinator to check arrangements.
