Healthy Ride on 29th May 2021
12 riders set off from Dulwich Park in the best weather for a while. Warmed everyone up by climbing to Dawsons Heights. Views are worth it, complete panorama from Canary Wharf to Nine Elms. Can see how London is becoming a city of tall buildings. Down to Lordship Lane where we collected the 13th rider (went to Peckham instead of Dulwich). Across to Dulwich Hamlets stadium then back through Dulwich Village and up College Rd to the Toll Gate. Several cars queued up there. More dosh for the Dulwich Estate. Next a loop round to Kingswood House, better known as Bovril Castle. This mansion was “improved” by its last owner, the inventor of Bovril, with the addition of castellations. Time for a circuit of Bel Air Park, but no time for the Velodrome. Back at Dulwich Park Café at 12 noon as planned. Ride led by Bruce with John assisting.
