Bike Train to town June 19th

[Sally Eva]

Southwark Cyclists are running their Bike Train up to town on a Sunday so that this "bit of inside knowledge" (as one rider called it) can be shared as widely as possible. Starts 10am from where the Bike Train starts in Peckham -- by the bike stands behind McDonalds in Rye Lane. Expected to finish in the same place 12ish

Ride Leader Bruce Lynn will take riders up to Blackfriars Bridge by the Bike Train route of two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the cycling lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and then the lovely new cycle lanes over the river.

He will (probably) then sweep west along the segregated route on the Embankment to Westminster. At Westminster Bridge he's got a choice He may turn right and head for St James' Park and Birdcage Walk (maybe do a circuit when the roads are closed to traffic on a Sunday). Or he may turn over the bridge and come back along the south bank, past the Eye, the Festival Hall, the National Theatre etc. Or both.

What he will choose will probably depend on the weather and what everyone wants to do.

All welcome. Bring bigger kids or have a nice time without them. You can let us know you are coming or just turn up.
