Hi there, not sure about CP park, but there is the Waterlink Way which you can join down by Sainsburys in lower Sydenham :)

The park is fine but if you really want to make the most of your road bike, the North Downs are less than a hour away....

Well you have just missed this season's Crystal Palace Criterium series :D
https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/event ... -League-16

What type of riding are you looking for?
* Distance (how far)
* Speed (how slow)
* Hills (how big)
* Destination (pubs, cafes)

There is a strong tradition of cycling clubs in SE London that cater for different variants on the above from plodders to racers. Tag along with the right one for you for great fun, they all welcome guest riders. If you are unsure you are ready - then there are events laid on to get you up to speed or distance or whatever.

And this is next Sunday: http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/return ... er.111462/
