Two rides of very different character for June 7th. An Inner London circuit of ex-Power Stations and an Outer London, train assisted, ride in Epping Forest.

Ride 1. A Trio of (ex)-Power Stations.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-trio-of-ex-power-stations-bike-ride-tickets-1391591951989?aff=oddtdtcreator >

Bruce leading a circuit to Tate Modern, Lots Road and Battersea Power. The large power station buildings have been preserved for these three. The uses of the sites are now very different – an art gallery, largely residential and a mixed residential and retail/leisure development.  Chance to compare the different fates of these landmark sites and consider if they are now contributing as much as when they kept the lights on and the tube system running.

Ride starts 10am from Burgess Park (Stomping Grounds Café, Chumleigh Gdns). Back streets/Cyclway to Tate Modern followed by a long ride to Lots Road via the Imperial War Museum, Vauxhall Bridge and the embankment. From Lots Rd, across Albert Bridge and through Battersea Park (probable refreshment break) to Battersea Power Station. Then back to Burgess Park via Thessaly Rd, Larkfield Park and quiet streets across Stockwell.  21km, 13 miles, flat. Should be back around 1pm allowing for look around time at each power station. Probable route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1EvmwKPUQbLmT7TY4ICGVJhXzThhOZfY&usp=sharing

Ride 2.  Epping Forest Ramble  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/epping-forest-ramble-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-1391596836599?aff=oddtdtcreator >

Owen seems determined to get us all out into the Essex countryside. Following his successful Essex Ramble last month (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2025/ride-reports-3rd-may-2025/) he has devised another. We are heading to Epping Forest this time. A 27km (16 miles) circuit from Chingford to Epping and back. Farthest point on the ride will be at Epping Signalling Museum. Coffee stop will be at High Beech. Other places of interest we will stop at will be Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge and Connaught Water. The ride will start at 9.30am at Chingford Station and will finish at approximately 1.30pm back at Chingford Station.  We are mostly off road - 70% on gravel, 5% on grass. Just 25% on tarmac (paths and road). We think a Brompton would be OK. However NOT a road bike with slim wheels, need hybrid size tyres with plenty grip.  Sections of the route are “undulating” and overall it will be a challenging ride, A reasonable level of fitness will be needed.  GPX file of route at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/route-for-epping-forest-ramble/

Getting to Chingford from Central London. Obvious option is Overground (Weaver Line) from Liverpool St. 27 min ride, trains every 15 min, fare £3.60.

Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.

These rides are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/. 

 

Note. Ride reports, often with photos and route maps, are posted to the Southwark Cyclists web site, yearly index at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

2.  Epping Forest Ramble  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/epping-forest-ramble-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-1391596836599?aff=oddtdtcreator >
Owen seems determined to get us all out into the Essex countryside. Following his successful Essex Ramble last month (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2025/ride-reports-3rd-may-2025/) he has devised another. We are heading to Epping Forest this time. A 27km (16 miles) circuit from Chingford to Epping and back. Farthest point on the ride will be at Epping Signalling Museum. Coffee stop will be at High Beech. Other places of interest we will stop at will be Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge and Connaught Water. The ride will start at 9.30am at Chingford Station and will finish at approximately 1.30pm back at Chingford Station.  We are mostly off road - 70% on gravel, 5% on grass. Just 25% on tarmac (paths and road). We think a Brompton would be OK. However NOT a road bike with slim wheels, need hybrid size tyres with plenty grip.  Sections of the route are “undulating” and overall it will be a challenging ride, A reasonable level of fitness will be needed.  GPX file of route at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/route-for-epping-forest-ramble/
Getting to Chingford from Central London. Obvious option is Overground (Weaver Line) from Liverpool St. 27 min ride, trains every 15 min, fare £3.60.
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe.  If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.
These rides are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
 
Note. Ride reports, often with photos and route maps, are posted to the Southwark Cyclists web site, yearly index at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/. Future/provisional ride ideas can be viewed on our planning spreadsheet.

Owen and I have decided to postpone the Epping Forest Ramble until July 5th. Due to bad forecast for Saturday and only 3 registrants. Hope we get better weather on 5th July. For tomorrow there is space on the Power Stations ride starting 10am from Burgess Park. This is shorter and on tarmac all the way so will be OK if the forecast is correct. Dress appropriately!
