social cycle ride 10am Saturday May 5th

[Sally Eva]

this is the Healthy Ride organised by Southwark Cyclists, which is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. I'm afraid we have a shadow group pretending to be us at the moment (don't ask, it's too daft). We are not responsible for the other group and I don't know whether their leaders are insured -- er, that's it.

our ride starts at Dulwich Clock Cafe, Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ at 10am and finishes two hours later in the same place. Apparently theirs starts in the same place and goes somewhere else. I'm sorry to write stuff so silly, anyone wondering if I have taken leave of my senses, I'm sorry about all this.

As far as we are concerned the ride goes from Dulwich Park to Tooting Bec Common and back. It will be the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and some park paths. A few small hills but nothing serious. Riders will go via Brockwell Park to the north side of Tooting Bec Common and then follow Emmanuel Rd to the west end of the Common, then nice path down the west side past the Caf? and the lake.

At Tooting Bec Rd there will be a loo break at the Athletics Track, then east along Tooting Bec Rd and a quick look at the Lido (due to open on the 5th, but sorry, no time for a swim). Route home mostly quiet streets. If time, may vary the last stretch, e.g. by visiting Bel Air Park.
