Ride 1. Peckham to Look Mum No Hands Café, Old St < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-to-look-mum-no-hands-cafe-cycle-ride-tickets-483922604537 >

10am to 12.30. Peckham Square start/finish (Next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). Favourite ride we have done lots of times, about 9 miles total, mostly quiet streets. 

Look Mum No Hands is the original Cycling Café in UK combining a café with a cycle workshop. Allowing extra time for a decent coffee break at LMNH and a return via Spitalsfields. Leader Amanda. See report and photos from May 2018 at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-april-may-2018.html. Route at goo.gl/OpBXma.

Ride 2. SE London Sights - Burgess Park to Cutty Sark Loop < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/se-london-sights-cycle-ride-tickets-483914279637>  

10am to 12.30. Start/finish Fuorvito Café (ex Park Life Café), Burgess Park, Chumleigh Gardens, SE5 0RJ. Simon S. leading. An easy-paced, pretty flat ride taking in some iconic sights of SE London: the Cutty Sark, the Thames Path, Greenland Dock and Stave Hill - not to mention Millwall FC's stadium (twice!). Nearly all on quiet cycleways. Coffee stop at the Cutty Sark. Fantastic views from Stave Hill. 12 miles. Route map:

Not many takers for SE London Views. But LMNH ride from Peckham is going ahead. Plenty of space on that. Info and registration at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-to-look-mum-no-hands-cafe-cycle-ride-tickets-483922604537.
