9 riders, including one new rider, departed Peckham Square about 10.05 in light drizzle. Headed west through back streets to Benhill Rd, then picked up the proposed Quietway route to Dulwich. Warmed up ascending Camberwell Grove, then along Champion Hill and the reward of freewheeling down the Greenway. Reached Herne Hill Velodrome around 10.45. Spent some time watching the action both on the track, and in the track centre where some bikability-style training was happening. Next a short hop to Dulwich Park where we found the cafe and several riders purchased coffee and/or snacks. Return route was via Peckham Rye Park where we had time to cruise around. For the final stretch used a route across to Linden Grove, down Consort Rd and along Brayards Rd. Avoids the awkward junctions at the north end of Peckham Rye. Route at http://goo.gl/1EGMt8
Next ride Sat 14th March, 10am, Canada Water Library.
