NOTE early start time of 9.30.

The novelty on this ride will be the use of the Elizabeth Line for the outward leg. We will also have our first look at the new segregated cycle lanes on the main road route back from Charlton to Greenwich. Start 9.30 at Southwark Needle (London Bridge) for an estimated 3 hour ride with Bruce leading.  There are 3 stages to the ride. First we will ride to Whitechapel Station. Step free access is from the back entrance on Durward St.  Stage 2 is the Elizabeth Line to Woolwich Arsenal. Bring travel card or equivalent. Stage 3 will be the 9 mile ride back to London Bridge. For this stage will use the Thames path to Anchor and Hope Lane, then inland to Woolwich Rd where will join the segregated lanes on Woolwich Rd. Continue on the segregated lanes for 2km to Old Woolwich Rd, Greenwich, then side streets, through the Naval College site and bit of Thames path then join Cycleway 4. New segregated lanes to Rainsborough Ave where segregation ends, on to side streets to Plough Way, round Greenland Dock and through the Shopping Centre car park to Hothfield place. Short stretch of Lower Rd then the segregated lanes along Jamaica Rd and finally Tooley St back to London Bridge. Short coffee stop during return leg.  Quite a complex ride. Looking for a logistic challenge? This is the ride for you!
