Report from Philippa who led the ride.

“We had a good turn out (7) despite an earlier downpour and gloomy skies. Started from Dulwich Park Cafe on a ‘Park Run’. On to Brockwell Park then picked up cycle route 25 and headed off to Clapham  Common. From there we went to Wandsworth Common and then Tooting Bec Common.  The latter didn’t allow cycling so we walked  across the  park to pick up our route on the other side of  the railway.  I gather from David that Tooting Bec has the largest lido in the country. From there we headed home. Extra hills taken in on the way back as I missed my turning on 2 occasions  – oops! But managed to get back just 15 mins over schedule. Skies had brightened and sun came through to make those hills a bit hot and sweaty!”

Next Sunday Philippa is doing the Ride London 100 raising funds for the charity Whizz-Kidz – a great charity that supports disabled children by providing them with specially adapted wheelchairs, doing wheelchair skills training and providing youth clubs. She would be grateful for any support! Philippa has a text giving service set up through Just Giving so you can text a donation. Just text 70070 with the message KOSA66 £x where x is the amount you are donating. Or go to the Just Giving web site, link here.
