Start 10am at Peckham Rye Park Café (The Round, Straker’s Rd., SE15 3UA). Bruce leading. We have not started a ride from this location, but many will know it as we start the led rides to Freecycle from there. It is easy to reach from Peckham and Dulwich (10 min ride from Peckham Square or Dulwich Village). Why are we riding up Forest Hill? For the usual reason – it is there. Forms northern high point of a ridge that runs for 8km from Telegraph Hill and Hilly Fields in the NE to Grangewood Park, near Thornton Health, at the SW end. Forest Hill is not very scenic. Covered in housing and only limited views (but there are some). At 100m it is a nice challenge. Having done a hilly bit need to average things out by doing a flat section. None better than the Waterlink Way. We will ride 3km of this excellent off road route. The total ride is short, 8 miles, so we can take it easy on the uphills, walking if necessary. An easy ride suitable for even quite inexperienced cyclists. Everyone welcome.
