Usual easy-paced ride using, as far as possible, quiet streets and paths. Suitable for all types of cyclist.   Start/finish Deal Porter Square, next to Canada Water Library and opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR

Riders did so well climbing Hilly Fields on a recent ride, decided to do it again from the other direction. Head off past Greenland Dock to the bridge over the railway at Oldfield Grove and then across Deptford mostly off road to New Cross.  Shared use pavement and crossings through the New Cross/Lewisham Way junction followed by mostly uphill on side roads to Hilly Fields.  Stop to admire the views and for a loo break. From Hilly Fields steep down to Lewisham Leisure Centre. Then Nat Route 21 through Brookmill Park and on to the riverside beside the new bridge and Peter the Great.  Along the Thames Path route to South Dock and inland back to Canada Water.  If short of time may use Q1 and Surrey Canal Linear Path.  9 miles, lots of path, route at https://goo.gl/Ak8XmX

Used this route previously on July 8^th, 2017 and July 11^th, 2015, see ride report links at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/southwark-healthy-rides.html
