shit, I think I might be busy on the 31st of June :(
 
I don't think I can make this now - forgot it's a friend's 50th - will need to check when the party is
 
Any old bike will be fine. Just wouldn't recommend super-thin racer, but whatever you're used to will serve you fine.

i blat up and down the lea on 700x23 slicks, should be no prob for Orang Utan.

will see if i'm about, the next few months are really busy but would be good to go for a gentle spin up the river :)
 
yes... i'd like to know more about the tow paths.. I worry with the kids on tow paths.
I just hate wobbling along behind pedestrians, because I won't be that cyclist haring past people on foot who have right of way, and close/blind passes under bridges etc. No idea if I'll have O with me yet.
 
Little old me? What have I done? :eek::hmm:

Is the whole ride on tow paths? Are they narrow like round here?

It's all towpaths, but on the whole a bit wider and certainly more navigable than (by 'round here' I'm guessing you mean...) Regents canal. Plus there are generally less people around, and folk that are around are more bike savvy.
It does get a bit more sticky after Broxbourne. But I reckon that stretch is gonna be an optional extra for the hardy really.
