Note 2. Ride reports, often with photos and route maps, are posted to the Southwark Cyclists web site, 2023 index at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2023/. Report for last Monday’s ride to Hackney Marshes is already up. 

We have 2 rides for Jan 14th. One is a repeat of the popular New Year’s Eve ride to view Henry Moore statues. The other is a short, really easy, ride round the Central London bridges. Remember to register on Eventbrite and 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 )

Please note different start & end points.

End: Kennington Park Cafe

Distance: 13.78 miles / 22.18 km  

Ride info from Jane who will be leading. Your chance to begin 2023 with some improving culture! This ride follows a route across Vauxhall Bridge and mostly through central London to look at 8 works created by the sculptor Henry Moore. We will return via South Kensington and Chelsea, visiting "Three Standing Figures" in Battersea Park and ending with a surprise (for some) on the Brandon Estate near Kennington Park.  

Be prepared for a bit of stop/start riding as we'll be hearing brief facts about each sculpture and there will be a coffee stop at some point. We should finish by 13h30 and I can direct people back to Southwark destinations from Kennington Park if required.
