free sociable cycle rides Sat Feb 3rd

[Sally Eva]

We have two contrasting rides on Feb 3^rd, a long one to Chiswick House in West London and a short one to Sydenham and back using the Overground for the outward leg. 

Ride 1, Feb 3rd.  Canada Water, Sydenham, Canada Water, Train Assisted.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-sydenham-canada-water-train-assisted-cycle-ride-tickets-807780321687 > 

Meet Deal Porter Square (next to Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station) 10am and take the Overground train to Sydenham. Taking bikes on the Overground is surprisingly easy especially at step free stations like Canada Water and Sydenham. Cycle down to Bells Green and join the Waterlink Way (Nat Route 21). Follow this excellent off-road path to Ladywell Fields, then continue to Brookmill Park and on to where NR21 meets Cycleway 10. Follow CW10 through Deptford via Folkestone Gardens to the Millwall Ground. Take the path to Oldfield Grove (NR 425) and continue to Greenland Dock and Deal Porter Square. Easy 1.5 - 2 hour ride with lots of off road path. Map at https://goo.gl/4DQ9Tb. Remember to bring Oyster or Contactless card (fare £1.90). Can also join at Sydenham Overground Station at 10.20am; please indicate on Eventbrite if you intend to do this.  NOTE this is Sydenham Station, not Lower Sydenham or Sydenham Hill.  Bruce leading. 

Ride 2, Feb 3rd. Dulwich to Chiswick House.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-chiswick-house-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-807775106087 >Meet 10am at Dulwich Park Café (Dulwich Clock Café). Head out via Clapham Common , Battersea Park, along Thames Path to Hammersmith bridge and North side along river to Chiswick House (coffee break). Approx 21 miles - allowing 4hrs (i.e. back in Dulwich for 2pm) to have time for coffee & leisurely pace. Ride leaders Jean and John. 

Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.
