Saturday 6th April 2019 10:00am to 12 noon

This ride starts in Dulwich Park at the Dulwich Clock Cafe SE21 7BQ at 10am and finishes two hours later in the same place. In between the group will go up to Horniman Museum then down to Forest Hill station. They use the underpass to get to Perry Vale and join the National route 21 (aka the Waterlink Way) at Bell Green.

NR 21 follows the river Ravensbourne out into south London and the group will use quiet streets to get to Beckenham Place Park which is Lewisham's largest open space, more than 237 acres, surrounding Beckenham Place Mansion. The mansion is a true Goergian beauty (see pic)open to the public as an arts, cultural and community centre.

The group will come back via the Waterlink Way -- this time staying on it to Ladywell Fields and then heading homewards via quiet back streets and Camberwell New Cemetery. This is one of a series of Saturday morning easy-paced rides suitable for all types of cyclist. Everyone welcome. Everything is free.

These rides are organised and led by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists which is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Other rides and events organised through the LCC are here: https://lcc.org.uk/events. They are all free and open to all.

Saturday's route is at

  My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago. We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed. feeling a lot less sad about that now!

  What would I do about cyclists? The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal. Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles. I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road. More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets. If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

  I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise. This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties. Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
