Early 9.30 start from London Bridge (Southwark Gateway Needle). Cross the river probably over London Bridge, make our way to Cycleway 2 and follow this through Whitechapel and Mile End, to Bow. Join the Lea Navigation path and follow it up to Hackney Marshes at Markfield Park. Stop there for a break. On the return trip, we cross briefly to the other side of the canal, coming down through Hackney Marshes, and then retrace our steps for a while, passing by Bow and continuing to the Limehouse Cut down to Limehouse and along to London Bridge. So lots of towpath – maximum care needed and always giving way to pedestrians. If necessary be prepared to walk sections of the narrow Limehouse Link towpath. John S. leading, 22 miles in all, back by 2pm (hopefully a bit sooner).
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. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
