I haven't cycled to Limehouse (Lea Naviagation, Old Ford, Bow, Three Mills the Limehouse Cut) and back (Regents Canal, Hertford Union and back on the Navigation) since last winter. They were doing work on the Bow stretch until the July, and I like doing the loop, and then was cycling in the opposite direction to pick blackberries.
I used to have to come off the towpath and cross the road under the Bow flyover, making a run for it when there was a gap in the cars coming off the roundabout. There is now a bridge (which a cyclable slope up and down) that takes one across the river and then along it under the road. Fantasic!
I nearly didn't go as for this long ride I usually like really nice weather and this morning was overcast and breezy, but I am glad I went
That's one thing I miss about London: the varied cycle routes, especially along canal towpaths.
