Gentle ride passing (and often stopping) at locations associated with Charles Dickens. Dickens was imprisoned in Southwark at the Marshalsea and located his novel Little Dorrit there. He also referenced many Southwark locations in his books. In addition to Dickens, Southwark has many more literary associations and the ride will note Shakespeare and others along the way. 10 miles, route map at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=13O1qRo66ONju77rIxhE7vMO0fYEWONE&usp=sharing, Bruce leading.
