cycling picnic Sat August 17th: weather forecast not bad


Recommended Posts

South London cycling's big social event of the year. The wettest August in living memory and they choose to hold it outside. Actually, the forecast for the day is not bad: light cloud and a moderate breeze. Surprise entertainment: slow bike race, musical bikes, etc.


There are multiple start points and the two that matter from our POV are 10am Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ and 10.30am Peckham Square SE15 5JR. If you miss those there's a third at 11am Canada Water SE16 7AR. This will be the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. You can join route at any of 3 locations. Or just make your own way to Greenwich Park for 12 noon


Full route will start by leaving Dulwich Park via Court Gate and then down to Peckham Rye Park, Rye Lane and stop in Peckham Square to meet other riders. The enlarged group will go down the Canal Path to Glengall Rd, and the follow a bit of Quietway 1. Then across Southwark Park to next stop at Canada Water to collect yet more riders.


From there everyone will follow NR4/Thames-side route to Cutty Sark and into Greenwich Park to join Bexley Healthy Riders for the picnic. Fun games, food, squirrels, paddling pool, playground, big sandpit, Meridian Line, Royal Observatory, river views of east London and Canary Wharf. Something for everyone and everyone welcome.


Return ride starting about 2pm. Nine miles there, and nine back. The final riders probably won't be back in Dulwich until around 3.30, back at other start points a bit earlier. These delights are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists (and Bexley Cyclists) we are all part of the London Cycling Campaign whose website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. You can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text Bruce on 07729 279 945. Like everything we do this outing is free and open to all. The route is here:

    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi Teo   he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in Rast Dulwich . how much do you charge ?  
    • 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!
