Cutty Sark to Wanstead Park

Start 9.30am at Cutty Sark, next to the tunnel entrance. NOTE EARLY START. Hope to finish back at Greenwich at 1.30, but with uncertainties on a long ride please allow for possible 2pm finish. Route out: round Thames path to London Cable Car across river. Note this means we cannot have e-bikes on this ride, sorry. From Victoria Dock on to Beckton Corridor off road path and round past Beckton Alps, bit of cycle path and back streets to Wanstead Park. See if we can find the famed bluebells. Return across Wanstead Flats, quiet streets to Olympic Park, Hertford Union Canal, Regents Canal Towpath/Mile End Park, west side of Isle of Dogs to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. If the lifts are working, complete ride by crossing to the Cutty Sark. If not, end the ride at the tunnel. Riders who wish to cross will be guided to Mudchute DLR Station where there is step free access. There is also step free access at Greenwich DLR station. Note this is a long route with a lot of continuous riding. We will be at our usual easy pace, but probably cycling for 3 hours +. You get a rest on the Cable Car (remember to bring some way of paying the fare) and a coffee break. Nevertheless worth bringing a snack and a drink. Ride Leader – Amanda.

Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.
Part of a regular series of Saturday rides, more info at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

Mainly flat route. Loop via O2 outward and Greenwich Foot Tunnel on rteutn. Includes Cable Car trip! Loads to see - hopefully inclluding some bluebells. Everyone welcome.

Plenty off road, pleny quiet streets, small stretches of busy road.

Stop at O2 for Cable Car. Coffee stop, probably at Wanstead Park. A few other short stops at places of interest

Just yourself and your bike
