Always something new to see on this favourite short anti-clockwise loop that follows the Thames on both banks. This easy 11 mile ride uses DLR to cross river at Greenwich (travel pass or equivalent needed) and returns over London Bridge. Meet up 10am in Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station and next to Canada Water Library. Route includes Russia Woodland, Deptford Historic Waterfront, Mudchute DLR, Shadwell Basin and canal-side paths to St Katherines. Coffee stop on return leg. No hills, mostly off road, cycle lanes or quiet streets. Simon K. leading. It will be possible to join the ride at Greenwich Station. Meet 10.25am outside the front of the station on Greenwich High Rd, near the Novotel (not by the DLR entrance). Please indicate on the registration form that you will be joining at Greenwich.

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/.

Flat, easy route suitable for all types of cyclist. Always lots to see along the river.

Lots of path and cycle lane, just short stretches of busier road.

Several stops at points of interest. Coffee stop on return leg.

Just yourself and your bike.

First-timers welcome!
