social cycle ride this Saturday December 17th

[Sally Eva]

this is a train-assisted ride so bring your Oyster or contactless card and it's also one of the longer ones.

It starts at 9.30am from Canada Water Library (opposite the station SE16 7AR). I've just finished reading a TfL update which says they are putting on extra Overground trains so getting to Canada Water should be a doddle. Alternatively once you are on the Overground stay on it to meet the rest of the group at Haggerston Overground Station at 10am.

After that you need your bike. The route goes to London Fields, down Broadway Market, and then along canal towpath to Victoria Park. Complete circuit of park with a stop at the Pavilion Cafe. Head back via more towpath, Mile End Park, Green Bridge, yet more towpath, Limehouse Basin. The towpath is one of London's best off-road routes, completely flat with lots of interesting buildings, old and new. And the last Saturday before Christmas it shouldn't be too crowded :)

After the towpath the route goes west on north bank Thames path to St Katherines, and takes the EW CSH from Tower Hill, London Bridge, east on south bank Thames path (NR4) and back to Canada Water around 1pm.

Flat route, lots off road.
