Next Healthy Ride

April 8th, 10am to 12 noon.

this one starts from Canada Water which is on the Overground. According to the TfL journey planner the Overground to Canada Water is running this weekend, or at any rate on Saturday. There's a lift at Canada Water Station but not at Peckham Rye. There's a lift at Queens Road -- check whether it's working before you travel.

Right that's the difficult bit out of the way. This ride starts from outside Canada Water Library at 10am. The library is a lovely building with a coffee shop. The route goes to the London Eye along the South Bank and returns for 12noon.

The first bit from Canada Water to the London Eye goes via National Cycle Route 4. It will loop back through Waterloo Station to the Cut and Union Street (where work on Quietway 14 has started) then around to Abbey Street, across Jamaica Road and back on to NR 4.

There are just a few points of interest on the way: a new harbour is being constructed at Chambers Wharf, plus Borough Market, and the new extension at Tate Modern. 10 miles of easy flat riding, much using off-road paths.

Philippa will be leading. I usually have a little map of the route but today I don't. Bruce's phone no is still 07729 279 945.
