NOTE. You must register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/waterllink-way-cycle-ride-from-canada-water-tickets-1981014568903?aff=oddtdtcreator%20
Work is starting in February to replace the worn out bridge at the start of the Waterlink Way (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTabTFPjP-l/). This means the Waterlink Way will effectively be closed for 3 months. Bruce will lead a last WW ride before the closure. Meet 10am at Deal Porter Square (next to Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station) and take the Windrush Line ( ex-Overground) to Sydenham. Taking bikes on these trains is surprisingly easy especially at step free stations like Canada Water and Sydenham. We will then ride back to Canada Water arriving about 12.30. Can also join at Sydenham Station at 10.25am; please indicate on Eventbrite if you intend to do this. NOTE this is Sydenham Station, not Lower Sydenham or Sydenham Hill.
Route back at https://goo.gl/4DQ9Tb. Down to Bells Green and join the Waterlink Way (Nat Route 21). Follow this excellent off-road path to Ladywell Fields, then continue to Brookmill Park. Use the new segregated lane on Deptford Church St and get back to Canada Water on either Cycleway 10 or 4. Easy 1.5 - 2 hour ride back with lots of off road path. Remember to bring card or equivalent (fare £2:10).
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. How to cancel link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/help/en-gb/articles/575010/how-to-cancel-your-free-registration/. This ride is organised by Southwark Cyclists and is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
