Meet 9.30am at Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre). 15 mile route with Dave P leading. Back around 1pm.  Ride to Cutty Sark via mostly Cycleway 10. It will be possible to join the ride at Cutty Sark. Be next to the Foot Tunnel at 09:45. Please indicate when registering if you are planning to join there. Next up the hill in Greenwich Park and a stop at the General Wolfe viewpoint. Over the Heath and then past Blackheath Station, ride down the hill, cross A20 and take a break at Manor House Gardens café – good brunch options. Continue past Hither Green Station then on to Ladywell for hill #2, Hilly Fields. From Hilly Fields we go on to Brockley Cross and ascend hill #3, Telegraph Hill. From there through to Nunhead and lovely downhill return to Peckham Square.

This is a reasonably challenging ride due to some hills and a small section on busy roads – particularly Brockley Cross.  But there are great views and some excellent off-road segments.

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/.
