social cycle ride Saturday Feb 23rd 10 am start

[Sally Eva]

This is part of our series of Saturday morning two-hour, easy-paced rides -- as flat and off-road as we can make them. They are suitable for children (with accompanying adult) and complete beginners. These rides are a good way to learn safe routes around Southwark and the neighbouring boroughs.

This ride starts in Peckham Square at 10am and ends at 12 noon in the same place. The Square is the spot between Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre. If you work on post codes then SE15 5JR should find it. A picture of the Arch is attached. Saturday is forecast to be positively spring-like with a high of 14C though all these things can change.

The route is a loop south and west to include as many parks as possible, plus Herne Hill Velodrome. Starting in Peckham Sq it carries on to Peckham Rye Park, then Dulwich Park (unavoidable slope, long but not steep) Herne Hill Velodrome, then Brockwell Park, Ruskin Park, Warwick Gardens (by now we are coming back downhill, to Peckham Square. Map at http://goo.gl/maps/hFFNL. Lots to see and the Velodrome is always fascinating.

These rides are run by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. Like everything we do they are free and open to all. If anyone tries to tell you that they are not free or are Southwark-only, smile calmly and back away. For further info text Bruce on 07729 279 945, email [email protected] (slow method) or just turn up.
