London is a very green city. Amazingly on this ride we will go through or past over 35 parks and open spaces on a 2½ hour ride. The last time we did it there were 37. Report from that ride with route and list of places is at: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2024/ride-reports-jan-20th-2024/. Start Burgess Park Café (Stomping Grounds Café, Chumleigh Gardens, off Albany Rd, SE5 0RJ). Ride 14 mile anticlockwise loop. As well as the larger parks like Kennington, Clapham Common, Brockwell, Dulwich and Peckham Rye, there were lots of hidden gems and points of interest. Can we find a defunct zoo, a tangerine tree, Van Gigh, a windmill, and a park where 555+ different types of insect have been identified?   Easy pace, several short stops plus a longer coffee break. Mostly quiet streets or paths, short bits of busy road. Relatively flat. Everyone welcome.

General Info. 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/.
