NB Please register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below. 

 We have 2 rides for the 18^th Nov. Both are rides we did about this time last year. Amanda’s longish Camden Market ride and my short Streatham Common ride. One from London Bridge, the other from Dulwich. Two quite different rides, so you can choose whichever suits you best. 

NOTE. These are the rides for next week. On this Saturday, Nov 11^th, we have the Lord Mayors Show  ride starting at London Bridge < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lord-mayors-show-cycle-ride-tickets-750929258627 > and Parks, Cemeteries and a Museum ride from Peckham. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/parks-cemeteries-and-a-museum-peckham-to-horniman-museum-cycle-ride-tickets-750916219627 >  

Ride 1.  London Bridge to Camden Lock < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-camden-lock-cycle-ride-tickets-754926614827 >  

Camden Lock - shops, markets, cafes, busy.  On a ride, normally avoid it.  However, it is a great destination – and lots of options for a coffee stop. Start 9.30am at Southwark Needle (south end of London Bridge, close to the station, SE1 2PF) with Amanda leading for an estimated 3.5 hour ride. Outward route along south side to Westminster Bridge, then Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Oxford St, Baker St, Regents Park Outer Circle, Camden High St. Coffee stop. Return Canal Tow Path to Kings Cross Granary Square, Cycleway 6 to Farringdon, up Ludgate Hill and past St Pauls.  Down to Cycleway 3 and if time loop over Tower Bridge and Tooley St back to London Bridge. Some roads with lots of traffic. But pretty much non-stop sight-seeing and photo-ops!

Ride 2.  Dulwich to Streatham Common  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-streatham-common-cycle-ride-tickets-754945009847>  

 Ride Leader Bruce. Start 10am for a 2 hour ride. Start/finish location the Café in Dulwich Park. Short ride (8 miles), undulating, should be time for a coffee at the Rookery Café on the Common and for a peep at the striking Rookery gardens. Mostly street cycling, some sections a bit busy. Will look in at the velodrome. On the return route excellent views from Norwood Park then finish with a long downhill back to Dulwich. Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1kBbbdTgFkDK21x3M60BAGCWP5FyFhirl&usp=sharing.  Report from last year at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/ride-reports-15th-oct-2022/.
