does it & loop 3 finish off strong

The Richmond Park run starts from Roehampton Gate Car Park
and you have the option of 1 or more laps of the park perimeter (1 lap = about 11.8 km or 7.4 miles).
The Putney run starts from just outside Bar M by the riverside. We run over Putney Bridge and then towards Hammersmith -
you have the option of taking various bridges before heading back home on the south side of the river to define the length of the run: Hammersmith Bridge 4m, Barnes Bridge 8.2m, Chiswick Bridge 10m or Kew Bridge 13m.
You can see the Kew Bridge route here which also shows the location of the other bridges. NB: the start on this link is different from the one we use!
Wimbledon run starts at the Windmill Cafe Car Park on Wimbledon common.
Remember to bring a change of warm clothing and some money - join the group for a coffee/breakfast afterwards.
Every so often we will plan a fun training weekend away. This will usually include a long ride and long run session somewhere outside of London.
