sociable cycle ride Sat October 14th

[Sally Eva]

This is a Canada Water one -- starts 10am from outside Canada Water Library and returns to the same place at 12 noon. It's a very safe, mostly off-road route -- lots of it on National Route 4.

The ride heads off along the Thames (mostly NR4) to Greenwich and then goes under the water at the foot tunnel near the Cutty Sark. It pops up in Island Gardens like you do and then heads along the north bank to Tower Bridge.

Tower Bridge is narrow and congested but the speed limit is 20mph and the congestion stops speeds getting to that. And it's strictly enforced. There are weight limits which TfL enforces against everyone except buses so the bridge is not as difficult for cyclists as you might expect. Cross on it to the south bank and then head back to Canada Water (again mostly NR4)
