social cycle ride 10am Saturday May 27th

[Sally Eva]

Peckham to The Tower but letting you out again afterwards.

The ride starts in Peckham Square which is the paved space between the Pulse and the library (SE15 5JR. To be more precise people seem to sit and wait for each other in the sunshine, sitting on the slightly curved metal bench at the food of the wide shallow steps from the Arch.

After the more strenuous effort last Saturday this is a return to the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads, paths or cycle tracks. Out via Burgess Park and Walworth Green Link to New Kent Road and the Elephant.

Bike Trainers will recognise the next bit around the E&C bypass and then to Blackfriars Road and up to the eponymous bridge, turn left (very sharp turn) onto the Embankment and the E-W Superhighway. There are some more bends and then follow the route east to the Tower.

Stop for a break at the Tower, then continue to Cable St and the start of CS3, south to Hermitage Riverside Memorial Garden and St Katherine's Docks. Back via Tower Bridge, Bermondsey Spa Gardens, Willow Walk and the Canal Path.

10 miles, no hills (unless you count Tower Hill). Route at https://goo.gl/BtzUq6. To contact Bruce text 07729 279 945
