Canterbury to London

The ride from Canterbury to London began pleasantly traveling through lovely English countryside but the bike path began to run along the freeway and was very noisy. Not to mention the abundant and difficult turnstiles definitely not designed for bicycles with panniers. Which caused us to have to stop often and unload the gear from the bikes and bring the bikes and panniers through separately. As we got closer to London we began riding along the Thames. This path was sometimes wonderful and other times a bit dodgy as it left the Thames for a bit but would then rejoin the path along the Thames. As we got closer to Greenwich the path became very crowded with people and we had to stop often and walk the bikes. At last we arrived at the flat we had rented and our amazing bike trip was at an end. 

Sainsbury Lunch

A great lunch deal when biking in the UK is the Sainsbury 3 pound lunch deal. For 3 pounds you get a sandwich, drink and snack. Favorite choices, Ribena (Blackcurrant), Coronation Chicken and Hulu Hoops.
