social cycle ride 10am Saturday Feb 3rd

Recommended Posts

This starts from Dulwich Park Cafe at 10am and ends in the same place two hours later. It's called the Dulwich Park-Burgess Park-Brockwell Park Loop and is an easy-paced ride that links 3 major parks.


From the park cafe it heads out through Dulwich Village and East Dulwich to Rye Lane in Peckham. There will be a brief stop at our 4th Saturday start location, Peckham Square and then the group will head down the Surrey Canal Path to Burgess Park.


A complete east-to-west crossing of Burgess Park will take us to Camberwell Rd. We cross this and head through quiet streets to the small park of Myatts Fields. Next stretch is through tiny Elam Street Open Space and on to Loughborough Junction which is not too tricky in this direction.


Back streets and a tiny bit of the Brixton Water Lane take us to Brockwell Park. Round the east side of the park to Rosendale Rd and quiet streets back to Dulwich Park. That's about 16km (10 miles) of pretty flat riding, a lot of it on paths in parks. Route at https://goo.gl/QeB26A. Queries contact Bruce Lynn on 07729 279 945


All our rides are free -- you don't have to live in Southwark or join an organisation. We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer cycling in London. There's no more propaganda than that. You don't have to join LCC or our borough group. All free and all welcome

    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
    • Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
    • Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
