[Sally Eva]

This week we have one Southwark Healthy Ride with registration on Eventbrite as usual. When you register on Eventbrite, link details below, please give a phone number 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.

London Bridge to Parliament Hill

New route for the Southwark Healthy Rides that will take in several favourite locations. 13 mile loop with time to compare the views from Parliament Hill and Primrose Hill. 10.00 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Southwark Gateway Needle, London Bridge, S side near London Bridge Station. If anyone wishes to start from Canada Water, meet there at 9.20am. Be in Deal Porter Square, next to the Library and opposite the Station. Please indicate on the Registration Form that you are planning to go to Canada Water.

Outward route will pass St Pauls, pause at Kings Cross (Granary Square), follow the Regents Canal for a short stretch before returning to roads to reach Parliament Hill Fields. Will stop at the Caf? for a break. Energetic riders can walk up to the viewpoint ? there will be time for that. Return route will pass the Roundhouse then ascend Primrose Hill. From there go through Regents Park, then across Bloomsbury, past UCL and the British Museum. Hopefully can cut through Temple then join the Cycleway as far as the Monument before crossing back over London Bridge. A mostly quiet route except for about a mile along Kentish Town Road and Highgate Road. Bruce leading. Route at

We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. Even with the relaxation of the rules it is still a good idea to routinely keep 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 (note will be needed if you want to get refreshments at the caf? stop). Obviously please do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.

These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are a branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: [southwarkcyclists.org.uk] and the LCC's website is here: [www.lcc.org.uk]. For more info text Bruce on 07729 279 945. Enjoy.

The long ride to Parliament Hill is now fully subscribed (although do check for cancellations or join the wait list if you wish). In light of this, Simon has kindly offered to lead a short ride from Canada Water along the river to Central London.

Canada Water to St James Park

Our sightseeing ride, led by Tour Guide Simon! Easy, 10 mile, flat ride from Canada Water, across London Bridge passing Parliament Square, St James Park, Buckingham Palace and back across Westminster Bridge. Outward using much of Cycleway 3 along the Embankment. Return keeping to the south side of the river along Belvedere Rd, Upper Ground and through Borough Market (avoiding the shoppers!). Although we are on some busy roads, mostly have a cycle lane or bus lane. For what it is worth, forecast for Saturday morning is good.

Sorry, this is out of date. We have been able to expand the places for the Parliament Hill Ride (3 left at this point)and therefore we have cancelled the St James Park Ride.

Apologies for the confusion.
