Rides for 9th October

For Sat 9th Oct we plan to have two Southwark Healthy Rides. When you register on Eventbrite, link details below, please give a phone number as it may be needed for Track and Trace. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.

Peckham to South Bank

10am start for 2 hour ride. Start/finish in Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY. Outward and return routes slightly different so riders can experience several of the TfL Cycleway routes including a wide range of infrastructure ? the good, the bad and the ugly! Out down Canal Path to join CW10 (was Q1) at Oxley Close, then follow CW10 to Blackfriars Rd where we join CW6 to Upper Ground which we use to access the South Bank. Return via Westminster Bridge Rd, Webber St (part of CW10 ), CW6 south towards Elephant, then the SW bypass route eventually joining CW17 (was Q7) at Brandon St. Continue to Burgess Park then back along the Canal Path to Peckham Square. Easy, flat ride using lots of cycle lane. Route at http://shorturl.at/eiF38

2nd Healthy Ride for Oct 9th

London Bridge to Kensington Palace.

Ride round all the big tourist spots with Jamie leading. Start/finish Southwark Needle, south side of London Bridge close to London Bridge Station. Start 10am for an estimated 3 hour ride. Route west along south side of river then over Westminster Bridge down Birdcage Walk up Constitution Hill across Wellington Arch into Hyde Park and along to Kensington Palace for coffee break.

Return up Hyde Park West Carriage Drive, along Serpentine and up to Speakers Corner. Then back down to Wellington Arch and on to Buckingham Palace, down The Mall and through Horse Guards and across Parliament Sq to the Embankment. Left onto the cycle lane (CS3) that goes past Waterloo Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge and Southwark Bridge. Finish past Monument and over London Bridge. Flat ride with lots of path and cycle lane suitable for any level of cyclist.

These rides are arranged and led by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: [southwarkcyclists.org.uk] and the LCC website is here: [www.lcc.org.uk]. Like everything we do the rides are free and open to everyone. For more info text Bruce on 07729 279 945 or DM me. I won't know but I should be able to find out.
