social cycle ride Saturday Jan 14th

[Sally Eva]

This ride starts from Canada Water in small square beside the Library, opposite the Station, at 10am and returns to the same place at 12noon. The proposed route is completely flat route and suitable for all cyclists. The weather forecast for Saturday on the BBC website shows a big Sun. Should be a glorious day.

The group will use quiet cycle paths to Old Kent Rd. Then quiet back streets to Burgess Park. Ride across the park, and take the Walworth Green Way to New Kent Rd. The group will then pick up the Southwark Cyclists Bike Train route bypassing the Elephant and Castle.

They are not heading for central London however (like the Bike Train) but back via Quietway 1 to Bermondsey St. Then part of route for proposed Quietway 14 to the Thames and on to Canada Water.

On the outward leg, there will be a brief diversion to Bird in the Bush Rd to locate site of Livesey Exchange which is having an open day from 1-4pm, the approx post code SE15 1QP, Lat/Long 51.480573, -0.062349.

1290m2 of vacant garages on the Ledbury Estate will be transformed into spaces for making, training and cultural programmes with a central courtyard surrounded by workshops, studios, multifunctional spaces and a training kitchen. The PemPeople Bike Project (local youngsters fixing bikes etc.) will re-locate there. More information at: http://liveseyexchange.com/open-day-power-project/
