social cycle ride Saturday March 10th


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the late cancellation of last Saturday's ride. Weather you know. Snow/ice/blizzards and forecasts of the apocalypse. Bruce, the ride leader, who turned up to check that no one else did, said that conditions were not that bad. I don't believe him personally although the thaw had started. The forecasts for this Saturday are better though still not wonderful but hey, it's three whole days away.


Next Saturday's ride starts at 10am outside Canada Water Library (opposite Canada Water Station; SE16 7AR) and finishes two hours later in the same place with a ride to Blackheath Common in between. Bruce has run rides to Blackheath Common several times, but this will be the first through the Village itself.


This will be the usual easy-paced, sociable ride using lots of quiet streets and paths. There is a short but steep climb up to Belmont Hill which I usually push. Otherwise it's all pretty flat. The outward route goes via Oldfield Grove, Surrey Canal Rd (Q1), Folkestone Gdns, Fordham Pk, Brookmill Pk, Silk Mills Path, Belmont Hill. The return route goes via Greenwich Park, Ha'penny Bridge (Q1), Folkestone Gdns, Deptford Park, Surrey Canal Linear path.


This ride is run by Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer cycling in London. Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be a member of anything or live anywhere and everything we do is free.
