longer sociable cycle ride to the London Eye Dec 14th starts 10am

[Sally Eva]

This ride starts and finishes at Canada Water in Deal Porter Square, which is opposite Canada Water Station, and next to CW Library, SE16 7AR). It will be the usual, easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. The outward route will follow National Route 4, the Thames Path, passing Tower Bridge and Tate Modern. It will return through Waterloo station, down the Cut, and into Union Street. There the group will pick up Cycleway 1 (also known as Quietway 1)and follow that before peeling off onto LCN 22 to Southwark Park and back to Canada Water. These are very useful routes to learn if you want to get about London, as well as being flat with lots to see. Philippa will be leading. Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Completely free.

Canada Water is on the Overground and has an excellent lift which takes three bikes. Access to the trains is walk-on at East Dulwich and then across the platform to the Overground at Peckham Rye. Cycling is pretty straight forward and the map is here: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/131783

Something to look forward to is our excellent Christmas rides programme thanks to Werner. We start with one on 21st December. This is a plus ride which means that it starts at 9.30am and finishes at 1pm. The start is in Burgess park and the ride will celebrating the 200th anniversary of the births of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (both of them born in 1819 in case anyone finds something a bit odd about that sentence). On Boxing Day there will be our now regular ride from Canada Water to the City and the following Saturday 28th December a special Peckham Plus ride starting at 9.30 am in Peckham Square (under the Arch since you ask).
