social cycle ride Saturday Dec 22nd

[Sally Eva]

Get fit for Christmas. Last opportunity to breathe fresh(ish) air before the Queens Speech. It will be the usual easy-paced two-hour ride on mostly quiet streets and paths so the physical assault won't be too demanding.

The ride will start in Peckham Square, SE15 5JR, under the Arch if it's raining or on the sickle-shaped bench at the bottom of the steps if it's not. Pic of the Arch including the bench is attached.

The ride will be heading to the Rapha upmarket cycling clothes plus Cafe outfit in Spitalfields Market. https://oldspitalfieldsmarket.com/shops-and-stalls/rapha. If you are looking for a present for the cyclist in your life this would be a good (but v expensive) place to look. I see it serves "the finest food and drink". Everything Rapha is the finest with prices to match. However the refreshment stop should not break the bank.

Amanda leading. The group last rode this way on December 23rd last year so it is in danger of turning into a Christmas tradition. The route will probably be similar to last year and go outward via Burgess Park, Quietway 1 and Southwark Bridge, then past the Guildhall and Liverpool St station. No route map I'm afraid.

These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer cycling in London. These rides are not part of a campaign they are fun. Bruce wants to us to cycle for health which is endearing but doesn't reduce the fun. Like everything we do they are free and open to everyone everywhere.

No need to book but for more info you can text Bruce on 07729 279 945.
