Cycling Away Day to Richmond Park plus a second shorter one:Sat December 4th

[Sally Eva]

For Sat 4th Dec we have an all day outing planned, see below. When you register on Eventbrite, link 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.

Waterloo to Richmond Park. . By popular demand Jamie has created another ?Awayday? ride. Meet at Waterloo Station at 9.30. Train to Twickenham, then easy-paced ride to Richmond Park via Marble Hill and Teddington Lock and later returning to Waterloo Station from Twickenham Station arriving back about 4pm. The weather looks (a lot) better, high of 8 :). I've attached detailed instructions. Please be sure to read and inwardly digest them.

In keeping with a train theme, we will have a short train-assisted ride on Dec 4th. Nice and straightforward. Overground from Canada Water to Sydenham and ride back. We have done this a few times over the years and the great stretch of off road path is always a joy. Details:

Canada Water, Sydenham and the Waterlink Way.

Meet Deal Porter Square (next to Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station) 10am and take the Overground train to Sydenham. Taking bikes on the Overground is surprisingly easy especially at step free stations like Canada Water and Sydenham. Cycle down to Bells Green and join the Waterlink Way (Nat Route 21). Follow one of the nicest stretches of off-road path in London to Ladywell Fields, then continue to Brookmill Park and on to where NR21 meets Cycleway 10 (was Quietway 1).

Next follow CW10 through Deptford via Folkestone Gardens to the Millwall Ground. Take the path to Oldfield Grove (NR 425) and continue with this route to Greenland Dock. From there go past Tesco to Deal Porter Square. Easy 1.5 - 2 hour ride with lots of off road path. Bruce leading. Map at https://goo.gl/4DQ9Tb. Remember to bring Oyster or Contactless card (fare ?1.60) and face mask. Can also join ride at Sydenham Overground Station at 10.30am; please indicate on Eventbrite if you intend to do this. NOTE this is Sydenham Station, not Lower Sydenham or Sydenham Hill.
