Usual easy-paced ride on local streets and through local parks. Suitable for all levels of cyclist. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square, next to Canada Water Library. Everyone welcome. The route uses sections of Quietways 1 and 7, plus some other useful local paths.  Begins by heading from Canada Water to Southwark Park. Then through mostly quiet streets to join Q1 at Stevenson Crescent. Continues west to Trinity St where it joins Q7.  Q7 take us south along Portland St where the new cycle crossing at Albany St gets you into Burgess Park. We will take a look at work in progress in west end of Burgess Park then ride across the park and exit on to Glengall Rd. Rejoin Q1 at Oxley Close then follow east to Millwall Stadium. Make small detour to ride Bolina Rd, completely changed for the better following the Thameslink work. Rejoin Q1 down Surrey Canal Rd then leave Q1, cross Deptford Park and ride the new Surrey Canal Linear Park. Finally across to South Dock, round Greenland Dock and back to Canada Water.  Route at https://goo.gl/evzj3g
