longer social cycle ride Sat Feb 17th starts 9.30am

[Sally Eva]

The New the Old and the Derelict. That's what I like -- a good bit of industrial dereliction. The world gets far too tidy.

this is one of so-called Plus or "+" rides which start at 9.30am and end at 1pm. This one starts near the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, next to the foot tunnel.

The provisional route goes via the Foot Tunnel to Island Gardens and then follows the Thames Path on the other side to Millwall Inner Dock. It crosses over to Canary Wharf, and riders will then walk over footbridge riding past offices, Trafalgar Road. Then the Underpass and CS3 to Bow Creek and Trinity Buoy Wharf. Up and over the A120. Dock Road and out onto Victoria Dock. Over Connaught Bridge and into Thames Barrier Park, meander through this. There is a cafe and loos so might be our coffee stop.

A long stretch around the Airport and back over Connaught Bridge heading towards Trinity Buoy Wharf. Stop this time to look around then on to West India Dock, back up through Canary Wharf and Mudchute Park to Greenwich foot tunnel. 16 miles and no hills. Amanda leading. The route may well differ in detail on the day. About a third of the route is a big circle around City Airport but the bomb seems to have been disposed of now unless they find some more.

I can't attach a pdf of the route because it's too big and EDF won't let me but you can find a copy here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/healthy-ride-to-trinity-buoy-wharf/.
