Prudential RideLondon 2015, Part 2 - Free Cycle Day

As promised here is the “Part 2” of the Prudential RideLondon which I did with my two sons on August 1st.

If you didn´t see part 1, click here.

It´s essentially the way back to Buckingham Palace from the Guerkin with a stop at the Leadenhall Market (which is close to the Guerkin), for some food. The ride back was much faster as there were not as many cyclists on the streets by that point.

The only edits made to the video were parts in which we took the wrong way for a moment and when we were stationary. Everything else is as it was on the day. Video is 33 min long, so feel free to jump around if you don´t want to see everything.

Unfortunately, we didn´t get to ride the part along the Thames as we were quite late and our ride home was already waiting for us. Something for 2016…

About one hour later we were back home, in Bracknell, and then watched on TV the professional woman cyclists ride this same route (or a part of it) and that was cool.

Prudential RideLondon 2015, Part 1 - Free Cycle Day.

Hey,

this is the 1st part, of 2, of the Prudential Ride London ride I did with my 2 sons on the 1st of August 2015.

What a party! 70,000 people riding bicycles on the streets of one of the busiest capitals of the world. It´s a rare opportunity to see a “calm” and safe for cyclists London. Things are definitely improving…

Before you watch the video you need to know a few things…

  • This is the 1st part of the ride, from Hyde Park Corner were we started to “the Guerkin” building in the city.
  • This is the FULL video! I only cut out the parts we were stationary, as these wouldn´t add any value anyway…
  • Still this video is 49 minutes long.
  • No need to comment it is TOO long. I know. Feel free to jump around.
  • I will produce a PART 2, which shows the way back to Buckingham Palace. It will not be as long as this one as the streets were more empty, but it will still be long for YouTube standards.
  • If I have the time I will then produce a shorter 5 to 10 min video with the best moments of the ride (this is NOT a promise though).

So, here it is… Enjoy!
