///easy.shower.assure · Hackney Wick Station, London, UK

About
Starting from Hackney Wick overground station, we'll do a loop around Hackney Marshes for 6km with a drop off back at the station, before heading back out to the Olympic Park for another 5km for those wanting to extend.
We can also do it the other way (Olympic Park first, especially if the group consensus is for more streetlit areas, and then Marshes).
And we can also finish in Stratford instead of Hackney Wick if that's easier for all. I don't like to start at Stratford because it's very busy around this time!
Distance: 6km / 10.8km
Elevation: exceptionally flat
Gear: road shoes totally fine, it's mostly tarmac with the odd bit of gravel BUT headtorch still necessary for marshes and ideally a flashing light or something reflective on the rear as these are busy areas for bikes. No bag drop. Snacks and water as required.
Meet: Outside Hackney Wick Overground Station
Finish: Hackney Wick station, but option for Stratford for those doing the full loop.
Pace: Usually 7:30mins/km, but there’s no rush. We keep it chatty.
Toilets: there's a taproom by the station that can be sneaked into, otherwise woods, or popping into the Velodrome if required.
Travel: There are bike racks outside the station. But overground line should be ok for most!
