Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are occasional cancellations during the week; also try going on the Wait List. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.

Feb 19th Ride details

Canada Water-South Bank - Deptford - Canada Water Loop.

10am to 12.30 noon. Bruce leading. Easy ride that uses the relatively new Cycleways across north Southwark. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square, SE16 7AR, next to Canada Water Library and opposite the station. Begin by picking up Cycleway 14 on the Albion Channel close to Canada Water. Follow C14 past the Brunel Museum and the Salter Statues to Jamaica Rd. Small section of C4 and a cycle crossing to Tanner St. Continue on C14 past Guys Hospital and through Flat Iron Square to Blackfriars Rd. Leave C14 here and head north on C6 to Upper Ground and follow this to the South Bank. Possible coffee break here and time for a quick look at the Thames. Continue short distance along Upper Ground and join C10 (Quietway 1) at Cornwall Rd. Route heads back on C10 roughly parallel to C14 past the Old Vic, through Trinity Square, past Crol Caf? on Dunton Rd, over the Connect 2 Sustrans Bridge, past Millwall Stadium, through Folkstone Gardens, eventually to Deptford High St. Probably turn about there and head for the river and pick up National Route 4, the Thameside route, back to Canada Water. This becomes C14 at South Dock and continues through Russia Woodland to the Albion Channel where we first joined it. If you want to become more familiar with the best E-W routes in the north of the borough, this is the ride for you. Route at https://bit.ly/30lzAza.
