We are again offering 3 different rides on Saturday 11^th July. As last week you MUST book using Eventbrite.  All 3 rides are included as a single event.  Note that this means the header information on Eventbrite covers the whole event and is not correct for any individual ride.  You should choose the ticket for the ride you want. You will find 6 places available for each ride.  Social distancing must be maintained during rides.

The Link is: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/healthy-cycle-rides-tickets-112379650560

Important. If you are booked but find you cannot make the ride, CANCEL on Eventbrite.  That way we do not wait around, and possibly may be able to let an extra person on the ride.  Even at the very last minute it is worth cancelling as some riders keep a close eye on bookings right up to start time.

Note because there are 3 rides with different end times and locations within this “Event” your Eventbrite ticket will give the overall timing and the SE16 post code for all 3 rides. The correct timings and locations are given in the details below.

Ride 1.  Canada Water to Blackheath and Greenwich. 10am to 12 noon. Simon leading. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square, SE16 7AR. Chance to learn some local history on a route that includes lots of off road path.
