easy-paced social ride May 11th starts 10am

[Sally Eva]

This ride starts from outside Canada Water Library in Deal Porter Square opposite Canada Water Station SE16 7AR. There are good lifts at the station which take three bikes and walk up bike access at East Dulwich, change trains without changing platform at Peckham Rye and CW is three stops away.

The ride starts at 10am and it's a loop so the end two hours later is in the same place. It's the usual easy-paced ride using quiet streets and lots of paths. And it's flat. In fact it's a good ride for learning some of the nicer routes in the area.

The group will head off to Southwark Park then join Quietway 1 at Stevenson Crescent and continue west to Trinity St. If you don't know QW1 you should it's one of the best ways to get to central London. Join Quietway 7 in Trinity St and turn south to the cycle crossing at Albany St and into Burgess Park. The group will take a look at new Quietway 7 paths in west end of Burgess Park (very nice) and then ride across the park and exit on to Glengall Rd.

They will rejoin Quietway 1 at Oxley Close and this time go east past Millwall Stadium and down Surrey Canal Rd. The finish will be via Deptford Park, the Surrey Canal Linear Park, South Dock and Greenland Dock. There may be time for brief visit to Deptford waterfront at Foreshore but sadly no time has been factored in for coffee. The route is at
