sociable cycle ride Sat July 13th and call for help July 14th

[Sally Eva]

First things first. The ride starts at 10am from outside Canada Water Station and is 2hrs of easy paced cycling taking a look at Blackheath and ending in the same place, Deal Porter Square SE16 7AR

Canada Water is accessible from East Dulwich without lifting your bike. Flat access to the train in East Dulwich, transfer across the platform to the Overground at Peckham Rye and a lift which takes three bikes at a time in Canada Water. Or it's an easy cycle ride.

The plan is to do a ride to Greenwich via the Thames Path. Then into Greenwich Park and up the hill to the viewpoint next to General Wolfe. Follow this with a circuit of Blackheath and finally back to Canada Water, probably mostly on Quietway (Cycleway) 1.

The help is needed the following day with the unloading of bikes from the Dunwich Dynamo Ride. Southwark Cyclists provide return transport for 1000 cyclists and their bikes. Bruce who organises the rides is organising the unloading at this end between 11.30 and 3.30. You don't need to be strong you are needed to organise people and you don't need to stay for the whole four hours. Even one hour will be gratefully received. The unloading will be in Bolina Rd, next to Quietway 1 and the Millwall Ground. You can just turn up, but better to let Bruce know you are coming. To do this call 07729 279 945. More info available on the same number
