On the 22nd June we have two relatively short rides, one from Peckham to the South Bank and the other from Canada Water to the Thames Barrier.  Very much a River Thames theme this week.

Ride 1. Peckham to the South Bank Loop.   < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-to-the-south-bank-ride-tickets-927356968657  >

 Short (9 mile) flat ride exploring the South Bank from the London Eye to the Globe Theatre. Lots to see en route. Will use lots of cycleway and no tricky uncontrolled crossings. So suitable for anyone who has cycled a bit and great for learning some good routes.

Start finish at Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre) at 10am for a 9 mile circuit. Bruce leading and aiming to finish by 12.30.  Canal path to Cycleway 10. Follow this to the Old Vic, then Lower Marsh to the astonishing Graffiti Tunnel and through to the Eye. Take a break somewhere as we work along the river, probably at National Theatre. Return from Globe via back streets to C6 on Blackfriars Rd. Take this to Elephant and Castle then SE bypass route to Elephant Park. Hook up to C17 to Burgess Park then final 2km completely off road across park and up the Canal Path back to the start point in Peckham Square. Forecast is great. Everyone welcome. So come and join us. Route map at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1rNkCYzSXBd-wgsFZmRVNJieLxsTzDBw&usp=sharing

Ride 2. Canada Water to Thames Barrier. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-the-thames-barrier-cycle-ride-tickets-927839281267  >

Very easy flat ride, lots of off road or on segregated cycleway, always plenty to see along the Thames. 10am start from Deal Perter Square. Next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station. Eduardo leading on a 12 mile route via Cutty Sark and the O2. Plan to be back around 12.30 and have a short refreshment break at the Barrier.  Note it is also possible to join this ride at Cutty Sark, next to the Foot Tunnel at 10.25. Please indicate on the Registration form if you intend to do this
