Greewich to Cody Dock - Southwark Healthy Ride +

Amanda is going to lead her great route to Cody Dock. We did this on Jan 20th but weather was awful and only a handful of riders turned up. So here is another chance to ride this circuit - loads to see, lots of off road.
Plan is to ride clockwise starting through the tunnel, then beside Millwall Docks, across to Canning Town and thence to Cody Dock. Cody Dock is a small dock off the Lower River Lea, about half a mile northwest from Canning Town. It was near derelict but is now being developed by a charity and is the location for several social enterprise projects. Importantly it has a cafe. Stop there for a coffee and a look around (look at photos from ride on April 29th, 2017, to get an idea, http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-april-may-2017.html). From Cody Dock, return is by a long swing up to 3 Mills on the Lee, pick up the Greenway to Becton, then south to the Royal Docks (past City Airport) and North Woolwich. Cross river either by tunnel or, if possible, ferry and home along the south side Thames path past the Flood Barrier and the O2. Image of route on right. About 17 miles and flat, so over 3.5 hours, a nice easy pace.
This ride is part of our regular Healthy Rides series using as far as possible paths and quiet roads. This is a 3rd Saturday “+” ride taking 3.5 hours. More information on Southwark Cyclists Healthy Rides at www.healthyrider.weebly.com
