There will be a partial (40%) eclipse on a Saturday morning conveniently starting a bit after 10, maxing at about 11 and over by 12. A perfect fit for a ride. Where to watch it – next to the Greenwich Observatory of course! Ride will start 10am in Peckham Square and head directly to Greenwich Park on a flat route then up the hill to the Observatory. Should be there for the maximum with 40% of the sun obscured. Will stop and watch for a while then head back to Peckham for 12,30-1pm. Bruce Leading. Southwark Cyclist’s well known control over Saturday morning weather will of course ensure clear skies. Come and join us (and remember to bring serious eye protection).

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.
This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
