This is one of the longer ones but still very easy paced. Not entirely flat as you will see but the not-flat bit is motor-powered. it's called "By Air and Under Sea -- Greenwich to the Olympic Park and Back"


This is a repeat of a popular, easy-paced, ride last ridden in July. It begins and ends at the Cutty Sark, in Greenwich, beside the foot tunnel entrance (SE10 9HT). The ride starts with a cycle down the Thames to the Emirates Air Line. It is surprisingly easy to take a bike on the cable cars at North Greenwich. I've done it and staff don't bat an eyelid. You have to pay but hey this is London. A oneway trip costs ?3.50 with Oyster Card or contactless.


Route will go from the Airline to the Olympic Park via the Greenway (including the new access ramp near the southeast end). There will be a stop for a coffee break somewhere in the Park, and then back via Isle of Dogs and the Greenwich Tunnel. Okay that's not strictly under sea, but the Thames here is tidal and salty.


Philippa leading. This is a 3rd Saturday ?+? ride taking 3.5 hours with a 9.30am start. This ride is organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for safe, fun cycling in London which must be a good thing.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
