On Nov 22nd we have one ride, to Battersea, organised so far. We hope to have a second ride as well, keep an eye out for information.

Canada Water to Battersea, Power and Park.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-battersea-power-and-park-tickets-1972091964152?aff=oddtdtcreator >

Meet 10am in Deal Porter Square next to Canada Water Library and opposite Canada Water Station. Philippa leading a ride to Battersea Power Station and Battersea Park. Outward route will use National Cycle Network route 4 passing through Pimlico and crossing back over the river to Battersea Power Station and Park. Return route southside. Always lots to see on this route especially this time of year with the big ice rink open at the Power Station. Total distance about 13 miles. Including coffee stop should be back by 1pm.

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 organised by Southwark Cyclists, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

Ride 2, Nov 22nd 2025.  Cutty Sark to Belmarsh Prison < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cutty-sark-to-belmarsh-prison-tickets-1972868331287?aff=oddtdtcreator  >

Belmarsh Maximum Security Prison. Often in the news, seldom in a positive story. But we rode there in March and all survived unscathed (see report). Always willing to push his luck Mike K. is going to lead this route again. Start 10am at Cutty Sark Gardens, next to the foot tunnel entrance. Follow the Thames Path passing Greenwich University, the O2 and the Thames Barrier.  Turn off at Galleons Reach and continue to the top of the Tor.  After enjoying the view continue the ride to Belmarsh. For the return will take the Thames path to Woolwich Arsenal for our coffee break. Then proceed along it returning to the Cutty Sark at approximately 1pm.
