SATURDAY: Free City Sky Ride from Finsbury Park - Ally Pally - Hampstead Heath

Sky Ride City events are big free bike rides aimed at people of any age who needs a bit of inspiration to get their bike out of the shed again.  This weekend sees one running from Finsbury Park, through Ally Pally and up to Hampstead Heath.

The free 14 mile ride starts on Sunday at 10:00 in Finsbury Park. Using a combination of on and off road paths, it is expected to last just under two and a half hours. There will be a rest stop at Ally Pally.

The events are organised by British Cycling, the National Governing Body for cycling.
