Usual easy-paced ride using a lot of quiet streets and paths as well as some busy roads on the outward leg. Ride created to demonstrate that it was possible to have a flat ride from Dulwich. Trick is to follow the River Effra valley, going via Brockwell Park and Brixton. Last did this ride Sept 1st 2018 (see report). Will have a stop on Vauxhall Bridge to note where the Effra was marked as flowing into the Thames next to MI6. Cannot do this any more as marked exit covered up due to Tideway Sewer works. Anyway, this is not where the Effra mostly enters the Thames – find out more here (http://vauxhallhistory.org/river-effra-jon-newman/). Note Effra was buried in a sewer by Bazalgette in the mid-1860s. Route at http://tinyurl.com/y7ul6r9r and GPX at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/spring-summer-2019.html
