A ride we last did in 2021. Flat 8 mile route taking in Geraldine Mary Handsworth Park (Imperial War Museum), Archbishops Park, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, Vauxhall Park, Kennington Park, the new Eythorne Park and old friend Myatt’s Fields. Kick off 10am at the Stomping Grounds Café in Burgess Park. Cycleway towards the Elephant, then southwestern bypass to GMH Park and a look at the BIG guns at the Imperial War Museum. On to Archbishops Park next to Lambeth Palace followed by Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. Opportunity here for a small diversion to look at the new Isle of  Effra. Then to Vauxhall Park with its miniature houses and lavender. From there round the Oval to Kennington Park (WW II memorial, BeesUrban). Second possible detour to the home of Beefeater Gin. Final leg across to Eythorne Park still looking very new and finally Myatts Fields. Coffee stop somewhere. Pretty much all quiet streets or path. Back by 12.30 at Burgess Park.  Route map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1r_nBQl_KI0ASC2BgljZr9MM3RGE56xY&usp=sharing

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, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
