Canada Water to The Mound - Southwark Healthy Ride

Remember you must register on Eventbrite, https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-the-mound-healthy-cycle-ride-tickets-170455797880. We need to do this as ride is posted in several places but need everyone to use Eventbrite so that numbers can be limited. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.
We have all seen the pictures and the media ridicule. But us the Mound really that silly – or is it just reporters being horrid to Westminster Council (unlikely?). Here is your chance to decide for yourself. The Mound is free at the moment. Ride Leader Philippa did this ride with another group – see photos at https://www.facebook.com/philippa.goffe. So come and join one of our usual easy-paced Southwark Cyclists Healthy Rides. Route will be CW to London Bridge, LB to Cannon Street, St Paul's, down to Embankment Cycleway, Parliament Square, Constitution Hill (Green Park), Hyde Park to the Mound.Back via Westminster Bridge and Waterloo onto Thames path (NCN 4) then head to Cycleway 10 most of the way to Canada Water. Last stretch is through Southwark Park, so will end ride there for those joining the SC Picnic (all invited, see details https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/southwark-cyclists-picnic-sept-18th/).
We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. Particularly important to maintain social distancing from other users on shared paths. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can feel safe. Just in case we need them, good idea to bring a face mask. Obviously please do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.
This ride is organised by Southwark Cyclists, and is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/. Southwark Cyclists are part of the London Cycling Campaign. This ride is organised by volunteers. If you have any feedback, good or bad, please get in touch with [email protected].
