Richmond Park loop [50km / 230m elevation]

When you’re tired of the routes out from Highbury fields going north or east, go west on the Embankment cycle path away from the traffic and the lights on your way out to Richmond Park. Always a favourite place for cyclists for a lap or two and then coffee at the Roehamptom Gate café (30km in) and return back retracing your path back or head to Richmond station for an easy overground train back to Highbury and Islington. If you do ride back, Smiths at Smithfields is a great place for a beer on a sunny day.
