We have 2 rides for Jan 28th. One is a repeat of our much-loved Royal Docks loop. The other is a new short ride to Regents Park. 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 )

We last did this ride on May 28th last year. It was somewhat eventful. The ride report is worth a read! (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/ride-report-28th-may-2022/.

Ride 2. London Bridge to Regents Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-regents-park-cycle-ride-tickets-522073986347 >

Bruce leading. Start 10am, Southwark Needle, south side of London Bridge. 2 hours. Finish back at London Bridge ca 12 noon. About 15km (10 miles), pretty much flat. Route using mostly segregated lanes or quiet streets with just a few short stetches of busy road. Out across the City, Cycleway 6, Tavistock Place (LCN 6), Top end of Tottenham Court Road, into Park at Chester Gate. Round the Inner Circle then exit York Gate and return on route touching the outward one at Gower St (UCL), then past British museum, Covent Garden, on to Cycleway 3, Monument and back to London Bridge. Lots to see. No coffee break as just a short ride. Maybe time for a coffee at the end.

These rides are part of the Healthy Riders group, organised by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/. Like everything else we do, our activities are all free. We co-operate with other London Cycling Campaign groups like Greenwich Cyclists. The LCC details are here: https://lcc.org.uk/.
