sociable cycle rides and picnic June 10th

[Sally Eva]

Reminder. There are reports on rides on the Southwark Cyclists web site. Usually photos and a route map. Map allows you – or anyone – to try the ride themselves. 

Jun 10^th, 12.30 at Southwark Park Bandstand we are holding a Southwark Cyclists Picnic to celebrate BIKE WEEK. There will be a few slightly competitive cycling games suitable for all ages. The contest to be the slowest cyclist is always close.  Everyone is invited including non-cycling friends and family.  Note this is not the same as our other picnic which is held jointly with Lets Go (Bexley), Greenwich Cyclists and other groups that do social rides (provisionally set for August 12^th in Greenwich Park). 

We will have one ride on Saturday starting in Dulwich and ending at the picnic. Please register for this on Eventbrite so we have some idea of numbers, link: < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-southwark-park-picnic-ride-tickets-650236674397 >

I'll be there Sally, with my mob of lycra clad zealots, looking to storm parliament and install martial cyclist law.  Or maybe just have a nice time!
