NOTE 1. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.

 

 

On the 16th Nov we have 2 rides, both popular in the past. Amanda leading her annual ride to Camden Market (9.30 start) and Bruce with usual 10am start heading to Battersea to the Power Station and Park.

 

Camden Market.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-camden-market-cycle-ride-tickets-1075712066749 >  Camden Lock – shops, markets, cafes, busy.  On a ride, normally avoid it.  However, it is a great destination – and lots of options for a coffee stop. Start 9.30am (note early time) at Southwark Needle (south end of London Bridge, close to the station, SE1 2PF) with Amanda leading for an estimated 3.5 hour ride. Outward route along south side to Westminster Bridge, then Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Baker St, Regents Park Outer Circle, Camden High St. Return via Canal Tow Path to Kings Cross Granary Square, Cycleway 6 to Farringdon, up Ludgate Hill and past St Pauls.  Down to Cycleway 3 and if time loop over Tower Bridge and Tooley St back to London Bridge. Some roads with lots of traffic. But pretty much non-stop sight-seeing and photo-ops!

Battersea Power Staton and Park.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-to-battersea-power-station-and-park-cycle-ride-tickets-1075738014359 >  Everyone welcome on this easy , flat ride. Battersea Power Station wil be dressed up for Christmas and Battersea Park is always worth a circuit. Start 10am Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre.

Short stop at Power Station (Christmas decorations; Ice Rink) then circuit of Battersea Park with probable coffee stop there, Return via Larkhall Park, Myatts Fields and Burgess Park. Back at 12.30.

Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
