Photos from last Saturday are on the Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/553896211918871). Short report on the rides on the SC Web site, https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2021/southwark-healthy-rides-april-24th-2021/

This week we have 2 rides both starting from Peckham at 10am. 12 places, with registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as (1) we may be able to add an extra wave and (2) there are usually several cancellations during the week.

You must register on Eventbrite, details below. Please give a phone number when registering as it may be needed for Track and Trace. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.

Usual easy-paced ride. 10am start at Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre. Approx. 3 hours. Route up Rye Lane to Nunhead Cemetery and down to Brockley Stn. Next Brookmill Park then a brief climb/walk up to Blackheath and a longish run to Woolwich Barracks & down to Woolwich Ferry roundabout. Back along south side of river to Cutty Sark then via Deptford and New Cross to Peckham library. Jamie leading.

We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. Most importantly we will be maintaining routinely a 2m social distance, never less than 1m. Particularly important to maintain social distancing from other users on shared paths. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can maintain 1-2 m and feel safe. Just in case we need them, good idea to bring a face mask. Obviously please do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.

This ride is organised by Southwark Cyclists, and is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/. Southwark Cyclists are part of the London Cycling Campaign. If you have any feedback, good or bad, please get in touch with [email protected].
