New links to the Olympic Park have opened

In time for the beginning of May bank holiday, some new links into the Olympic Park from the River Lee navigation have opened. These links might be useful for people going to the big ride on the 17th May,  if they are unable to join our feeder ride.

At Old Ford Lock, you can now get into the South Park close to the Great British Garden by the Stadium via a gentle ramp.
