10am to 12.30. Simon S. leading following his epic charity ride from Glasgow to Inverness, details here.  10am start at Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY. 19km (11.5 mile) route: Peckham - Dawson's Heights - Blythe Hill - Telegraph Hill – Peckham. Coffee in Ladywell Fields. There are 3 significant hills to get to the viewpoints and a total of 184 m ascending which is more than we usually do. Estimated time is 2.5 hours but this depends on hill speeds, time viewing, and coffee. So although we hope to get back to Peckham at 12.30, we could be a bit later. 

These rides are organised by Southwark Cyclists, and are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

Jamie is leading this relaxed ride that involves some enjoyable cycling in stages for about 20 miles in all. 80% of the route is on quieter roads and some unsurfaced river paths. This route is predominantly flat and thus suitable for all types of bicycles and regular rider abilities. There will be loo stops along the way.
