During the Covid19 Lockdown all organised group rides are postponed. But important to keep exercising and cycling is good for that. Check out our short routes for your “pandemic” exercise.
Here are some routes taken by our organised rides over the last couple of years (e.g. Healthy Rides, Bike Trains), or recommended by experienced Southwark Cyclists as suitably lorry-free.
