[Sally Eva]

There is still space on both rides. Remember you should register on Eventbrite, details below. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling (How to cancel). Note the weather forecast for Saturday promises 26 degrees and light cloud.

Reminder that we often have photos and short reports on the Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/groups/553896211918871) and longer reports and route info on the Southwark Cyclists web site (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/). Some nice butterfly images from last week here.

Jamie leading his popular 7 views ride. With this time an extension to ride the Emirates Airline Cable Car (queues permitting). Probably take 3.5 hours, 9.30 to 1pm. Ride will start in Peckham Square and end at Cutty Sark. Note 9.30 start time and the different start and finish locations. For anyone needing to get back to the start in Peckham, we have arranged for one of the riders to lead. The route is predominantly on quiet back roads and paths traversing Nunhead Cemetery, Hilly Fields Park, and Blackheath (The Point viewpoint). On to Greenwich Park and the Gen Wolff viewpoint and the Queens View Point (One Tree Hill).
