sociable free cycle rides Sat April 15th

[Sally Eva]

On April 15^th we have 2 rides. One 2½ - 3 hours, one 4 hours. Note that the longer ride (Cody Dock) starts early at 9.30. 

Ride 1. Murals and Graffiti. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/graffiti-and-murals-in-south-london-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-613468218957 >   

10am start from Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). Bruce leading and hoping to be back at Peckham Square between 12.30 and 1pm.  Route heads west to the Leake Street (Banksy) Tunnel under Waterloo Station. This is Graffiti Central! If you have never seen it – well it is something else. Then a nice long ride east via the new mural at “The Blue”, Bermondsey and Folkstone Gardens, where we will have a brief coffee stop at the Honle (Festa) café. In Deptford will pass more graffiti followed by a couple of interesting murals.

Our route will involve getting through the Saturday market on Douglas Way. We may have to walk some of this. Back to Peckham via the History mosaic on the Old Kent Rd. If time will detour up to Copeland Park. This is a new route – should be eye opening. More about the stops on this route on the attached information sheet.

Ride 2. Canada Water to Cody Dock. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-cody-dock-cycle-ride-tickets-613471107597 > 

9.30 start (not usual 10am) from Canada Water (Deal Porter Square, opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR). Amanda leading a cross river circuit to Cody Dock. Cody Dock is run as a charitable Social Enterprise with the aim of regenerating the dock and surrounding waterways (see https://codydock.org.uk). What has been created is very unique. And it includes a Cafe where we will take a break. We are trying a new route this year using different river crossings. Outward will go to the Cable Car at the O2 via the Thames path, then Excel Centre and City Airport, Beckton Park, Greenway and Three Mills. Return will head for Canary Wharf and catch the short ferry to the Doubletree (Hilton) hotel, then across Russia Woodland to Canada Water. Riders will need to pay fares on both crossings. So bring Travel Card etc. Cable car full fare is £5, ferry is £5.20. Aim to be back by 1.30pm.
