We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. We are limiting riders to 15 including leader and assistant to reduce risk of spreading the virus. Still important that we maintain routinely a 2m social distance, never less than 1m. 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 maintain 1-2 m and 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 is one of the regular Healthy Rides organised by Southwark Cyclists, the local group of the London Cycling Campaign. Aimed particularly at less experienced cyclists who want to learn local routes and gain confidence cycling in a group. More info at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/
