Tuesday - April 12 Forrest Gump day



Start the day with a 55 min power walk through Richmond Park






Home for a quick breakfast, check the markets, and then think about a bike ride along the Thames to Windsor


Pass a Palace along the way...

Hampton Court Palace









Cross a few bridges...

Hampton Bridge






                                                            Surely that's an undercoat ?!?






Cycle past a few houseboats....





A gator or two....




...oh OK just kidding...




A couple of locks....

(click on the photo twice and you can read it)





And finally arrive at Windsor....

home to Windsor Castle





and the second best school in the world...Eton 



21.5 km as the crow flies

45.2 km as the river flows

2 hours and 25 mins on a bike

36 mins on the train back

  1. You win the prize for the best urban scenery on a bike ride. I'd have hopped off and begun snapping photos (well, yeah, because I would be a tourist) and forgot to keep on riding.
