Please read the Post LockDown Rules at the bottom of this description.
We do try to leave @ 9.00 but I will wait 5 minutes for late arrivals & no one is ever left behind and there are regular stops.
The only reason this is described as a challenging ride is its distance, The ride is essentially flat apart from one up to Brockley and that's not really a Hill, otherwise, it's mostly false flats which you will hardly notice and we will average something like 17.5 kph or between 10 & 11 mph.
Setting off from Peckham Rye we make our way via quiet back roads to Ladywell and then to Lewisham and via a mixture of cycle paths and quiet roads to Greenwich Park, thru the Greenwich Tunnel and thence to Canary wharf and then to Silvertown, London Docks and City Airport thru the Woolwich Tunnel or ferry to Woolwich Arsenal and then on traffic-free cycleways to Greenwich & the Cutty Sark & then it's sort of back the way we came along quietish cycle routes to Peckham Rye.
You will pass a number of very memorable landmarks including, Silvertown, London Docks City Airport, the Woolwich Tunnel, the Cutty Sark, Woolwich Armoury, the Thames Barrier and Greenwich Royal Naval College.
