Cycle route to Marathon preparations Sat April 27th 10am


Recommended Posts

Not Marathon in Greece but THE Marathon this Sunday. This ride will look at how London is getting ready. Not getting in the way.


It starts in Peckham Square which is between Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR. The most obvious landmark is probably the Arch and picture is attached. The ride starts at 10am and finishes two hours later in the same place. Riders will be making their way over to the starting line of the Marathon (not the start which is on Sunday) and there's an alternative meeting place at St Mary's Gate into Greenwich Park at the end of King William Walk at around 10.35am.


This is the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. This London Marathon-themed ride will be lead by Simon (veteran of many London marathons) who will talk about about this famous event. The route isn't finalised yet but provisionally it will be

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
