social cycle ride 10am Saturday June 24th

[Sally Eva]

AKA: Seven Murals and a Windmill

This ride starts at 10am in Peckham Square and ends two hours later in the same place (Peckham Library; Peckham Pulse, SE15 5JR). It's the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads, paths or cycle tracks.

This themed ride has been planned by Harry, who will be leading. The idea is to find 7 murals in the Brixton area, plus the windmill. We will go out via Burgess Park, Myatts field and Loughborough Junction to Somerleyton Rd and the first mural. Then on to Brixton Mill with 2 more murals. Short hop to Strathleven Rd and the 4th Mural. Then via Ferndale to Brixton town centre and 3 more murals. Back by Overton Rd, Wyndham Rd and Burgess Park.

That's 11 miles of flat riding. Route at http://tinyurl.com/y7a7hndz. This ride also forms part of Bike Week.
