Coronavirus and virtual outdoor and social events

CLOG activities are suspended at present due to Coronavirus

Virtual CLOG socials and Virtual CLOG Outdoor events

CLOG members can join the Virtual CLOG Outdoor Events whatsapp group to share photos, routes and mileage of solo walks and cycle rides.  We can try to collectively walk or cycle (avoiding public transport) across Europe (or even further!) on our own - just in terms of mileage (not literally)!  

Virtual CLOG Social group for more general chatting, sharing photos, indoor events (eg jigsaw puzzles, books, games, diy efforts, cake baking, music practice, Lego models etc etc).  No commercial or political stuff please and be nice!  

See email sent to members for more details and how to join these virtual groups

Members can also join the existing CLOG Facebook group  or the Coffee Shop email for chatting, sharing photos etc.  These cover similar ground to the Whatsapp Group but many people are not on FB and email is not the ideal medium for e-socialising.

Even if we can't do things physically together as a group we can still be together in other ways!

Cycling

We have cycle rides all year round, most weeks in the warmer months but less frequently in winter with distances ranging from 15 to 40 miles.  These are easily accessible by public transport on quiet roads or cycle paths, great for beginners or anyone who enjoys discovering places they never knew existed rather than lots of tarmac. Lunch in a pub and morning or afternoon tea in cafes. 

Our cycle rides, walks and other clog events are aimed at adults rather than families.

Always bring a spare tube (that fits your wheels) on cycle rides in case of punctures.

By bike we explore rivers, canals, forts, castles, coast, marshes, gardens, woods, ruins, sea walls, churches, mansions, cycle-ferries, churchyards, villages, lost railways.... 

We also have a number of easy cycle touring trips abroad each year.

Carry a spare inner tube in case of punctures. 

Non-CLOG members can come up to 3 cycle rides or other events to try us out before joining. 

NB Central London Outdoor Group is non-commercial and events are organised by other members of the club on a voluntary basis.  All participants should make themselves aware of the risks inherent in walking, cycling and other outdoor activities and take responsibility for their own actions and choices of activity.
