two sociable cycle rides Sat July 25th

[Sally Eva]

Southwark Cyclists are running two different rides on Saturday 25th July. You MUST now book using Eventbrite. Both rides are included as a single event. This means the header information on Eventbrite covers the whole event and is not correct for any individual ride. You should choose the ticket for the ride you want. You will find sux places available for each ride.

Note because there are two rides with different end times and locations within this "Event" your ticket will give the overall timing and the SE5 post code for both rides. The correct timings and locations for each ride are given in the details below. Confused, yes indeed, however hold on, all the detail you need to know is below.

Finally and possibly most importantly: if you are booked but find you cannot make the ride, please CANCEL on Eventbrite. That way groups don't wait around for you, and an extra person can come on the ride. Even at the very last minute it is worth cancelling as some riders keep a close eye on bookings right up to start time.

Ride 1: Burgess Park to Design Museum and Brompton Cemetery. This is a three hour ride, 10am to 1pm, led by Jane, it starts and finishes at Park Life Caf?, Burgess Park, Chumleigh Gdns, off Albany Rd, SE5 0RJ. It's an easy 16 mile ride with some nice off-road in the parks and lots to see. The outward leg will go through Hyde Park and on to Holland Park, probably stopping at the Design Museum for a short break, then returning via Brompton Cemetery and Battersea Park. The group should be back at Burgess Park around one o?clock. There's a report of a previous ride (Sept 15th 2018 with 33 riders!) at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-aug-sept-2018.html.

Ride 2: Greenwich to Canada Water via Wapping and Tower Bridge. This ride is shorter, just two hours, 10am to 12 noon and containing several firsts for this series of sociable local rides. First it is not going to finish where it starts. Second it will involve a trip on the DLR. The meeting point is in front of the Greenwich mainline station in Greenwich High Road, next to Novotel Hotel, NOT the DLR station where there are stairs. The group will catch the Docklands Light Railway and take a train from platform 3 to Mudchute, about a 6 minute ride. (Anyone wanting to meet at Mudchute Stn. be there by 10.10). They will skirt Mudchute Park to Westferry Road, on through Wapping to St Katherine's Dock, over Tower Bridge to end at Canada Water Library (Deal Porter Square). All this is a mixture of (quiet) main roads, CS3, cobbles & Thames Path. The organisers are using the DLR to cross the river, as the lifts are not working in Greenwich foot tunnel. With the selected stations, there are no stairs or lifts, just some ramps. Please bring a FACE COVERING & TRAVEL PASSES FOR DLR.
