Southwark Cyclists will be leading a feeder ride to the Prudential Ride London event.  There will also be a led return.  Ride will be fully marshalled and suitable for all cyclists of any age.  Meeting place is at the Cafe on Strakers Rd, in the middle of Peckham Rye Park.

The cafe is marked in a slightly weird place on the map. it is right beside Strakers Road rather than as marked (as anyone who knows the park will know) over in the bushes.

After 10 mind bending minutes of trying to draw a map I will just say that a lot of the route is down parks, green spaces, on-pavement cycle lanes and cycle superhighways.

There are two pick-up points on the way — the first at around 10.10am will be under Peckham Arch which is the access point into Peckham Square from Rye Lane. Eleanor will be meeting and greeting and the Arch looks like this:

We will meet a group from the north of the borough at Burgess Park Cafe (which is 200 Albany Road if you want to look at it on a google map) at 10.30am. A group from Crystal Palace are also expected to join us here and then we will all go on together to Southwark Bridge.

After that it’s every man, woman and child for themselves. The return ride is not at all compulsory but if you want to come back as well then details will be finalised on arrival.
