Ride 1. Burgess Park to Belsize Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/burgess-park-to-belsize-park-cycle-ride-tickets-470969130347 >

10am, Burgess Park Café (Fuorvito café, 3 Chumleigh Street, SE5 0RJ). Return by 1.30pm. Ride Leader Jane. Here is her plan for the ride. 

Outwards across Blackfriars Bridge, through Bloomsbury, Kings Cross to Camden Town. Steady ascent to Belsize Park via back streets of Kentish Town (no fiendish hills or I wouldn't be doing it!). Brief stop at Isokon building, Lawn Rd (previously featured on Eva's Bauhaus ride), sadly the gallery is now closed for winter months but we'll hear a bit about its history and some of its famous former residents. Return is downhill via Primrose Hill with coffee stop in Regent's Park and back South across Waterloo Bridge through Elephant & Castle and Walworth. Mostly cycle lanes & quiet streets, some short sections of busy roads at times. 16.5 miles, 25.5 km

Ride 2. Exploring Dulwich < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-dulwich-southwark-healthy-cycle-ride-tickets-471073693097 >

Did you know Dulwich has a castle, and football and cycling stadiums, even a Toll Booth!? Come on this easy 9 mile, 2 hour ride and be amazed. Start Dulwich Park Cafe, then up to Dawsons Heights for the view. Next across to Dulwich Hamlet football stadium and down Greendale to Dulwich Village.

Continuing south past Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich College to the only Toll Gate in London. Then loop up to Kingswood House, aka Bovril Castle, back through Bel Air Park, on to Herne Hill Velodrome, and back to Dulwich Park. Bruce leading. Google map: https://goo.gl/CJRHNu
