Rides for May 21st

Peckham to Kings Cross

10am start from Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). 3 hour ride. Everyone loves the new developments at Kings Cross. Ride will stop in Granary Square with time for a coffee break and a bit of a look round. Outward route down Canal Path to Cycleway 10 (Q1). Ride this to Blackfriars Rd, then switch to Cycleway 6. This goes over Blackfriars Bridge and up Farringdon Rd before branching off through quiet back streets and over safe crossings to Kings Cross. Return leg will take a more easterly route: The Angel, City Rd (passing the Eagle pub of ?Pop goes the Weasel? fame), then Bunhill Cemetery, Guildhall, Southwark Bridge and local routes back to Peckham. Flat route with lots to see, come and join us. Amanda leading.

Four Parks and a Velodrome

10am start from Dulwich Park Caf? (Dulwich Clock Caf?, SE21 7BQ). 2 hour easy-paced ride round Peckham Rye Park, Ruskin Park and Brockwell Park. Nearly all quiet streets or paths. A bit of up and down but nothing prolonged (and you can walk if necessary). At the finish will call in on Herne Hill Velodrome and watch the action. Have not been in there for a while, so looking forward to that. Bruce leading. Anyone welcome, as long as you can point a bike in the right direction. Route at

May 21st, this Saturday's rides. Amanda's ride to Kings Cross is fully booked with several on the Waiting List. In contrast, Bruce is leading a four Parks and a Velodrome ride from Dulwich has just tw riders!

This would be a very good ride for less confident cyclists. Short route and lots of riding in parks. If you know someone who needs a bit of encouraging to come on a ride, maybe persuade them to try this short ride on Saturday.
