Tourist dodging, Nordic sounds and a Cyclist's Cafe

Chiswick to Barbican and back for an evening concert of Sibelius. 
19.22 Miles. 9th December 2012 

After following the Thames path up to Hammersmith Bridge, the spin around four lanes of traffic on Hammersmith Broadway is not or the faint hearted! High Street Kensington also presents a few challenges on a Sunday in December: Tourists, Shoppers, Buses and Taxi's are all over the place. Getting into Hyde Park and later moving down the Mall provided a more relaxed ride though the approach to the Palace was rammed with tourists many of whom wandered aimlessly into my path. Obliged to do a good deal of Bell ringing!

Did the tourist bit myself at St Paul's. I used to work near here with this in view everyday so it's kind of special to me.



Rode up to Old Street and stopped for a Mocha at the 'Look Mum No Hands' cafe which was buzzing, Interesting mix of people here and some cool bike stuff on sale too.

It's not big but it's a bit clever.
