social cycle ride Saturday Jan 12th

[Sally Eva]

This ride starts at 10am from Canada Water library (Deal Porter Square, opposite the station, SE16 7AR) and heads immediately for the station. The plan is to catch the Overground to Sydenham -- the 10.08 to be precise though how precise they will actually be who knows.

Riders can join the ride at Sydenham Overground Station at 10.25am which might be easier if you are coming from East Dulwich or Peckham Rye. All these trains are said to be running. Bitter experience has taught me to check before planning to use the Overground. Though these things can change.

The group will ride down to Bells Green and join the Waterlink Way (Nat Route 21). They will follow this via Ladywell Fields and Brookmill Park until it meets Quietway 1. Then along Q1 through Deptford to Folkestone Gardens. From there go through Deptford Park, along Surrey Canal Linear Path and past Greenland Dock for 12 noon arrival at Canada Water.

It's an easy, flat, 1.5 hour ride with lots of excellent off road paths. Everyone is welcome. 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. Everything we do is free and open to all. You don't need to join anything or live anywhere in particular. The route map is at https://goo.gl/4DQ9Tb. You will need an Oyster or contactless card (fare ?1.50).
