fun social cycle ride Sat Oct 8th

Easy-paced Saturday morning ride from Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station, SE16 7AR. Departing 10am and back at 12 noon.


We done this one before but it's slightly changed because Tower Bridge is closed to people on wheels. Led by David it will go east to Greenwich along the river and then back -- mostly along Quietway 1. The Southwark sections of this quietway are very nice and have attracted a lot of cyclists so this will be an opportunity to see if the route further east is as good.


Tower Bridge is closed to cars and cyclists at least until the end of December. Pedestrians can walk across and cyclists can turn themselves back into pedestrians at any time by getting off and pushing so it's still possible to get across. However, for the purposes of this ride we are not going to do that and will just go further east.


If the closure of Tower Bridge is bothering you then there is more info here: http://southwarkcyclists.org.uk


TfL has signposted diversions for motors and bikes. Lots of congestion. For other ways around the area on a bike pm me

    • Thanks for your feedback - we always appreciate hearing from members about their experience. The pool temperature at JAGS Sports Club is maintained at 29oC, in line with industry guidelines for mixed-use pools.  This temperature has been designed to balance comfort for lane swimmers and families. Air temperature is also monitored regularly to ensure a comfortable environment for swimmers, spectators and staff. The shower Temperature Mixing Valves (TMVs) were changed in December to improve consistency, and we hope this has made a noticeable difference. If you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please contact us directly at [email protected] or 020 8613 6500 and we'll be really happy to help.  
    • One wonders if he would have defected if he had, ahem, held on to the leadership of Southwark and whether he felt that "Labour are no longer the vehicle for social justice" during his leadership election........my how quickly things change in the thoughts of a politician 😉 I think this sums things up quite nicely: A senior Southwark Labour spokesperson hit back: “Local residents can draw their own conclusions about Cllr McAsh’s swift move from Labour leadership hopeful to the Green Party, after he didn’t get his own way. While he’s thinking about his own career, Southwark Labour are delivering for residents.” One wonders if he will stand as a Green candidate in Goose Green.
    • No doubt if he determines to stand for a ward he will enlighten us - at least his track record is one of using this site to communicate (inter alia). I would suspect that (1) his personal views on traffic will have remained consistent but that (2) his views on local democracy and proper consultation will have as well.
    • Yes, but I want to know where he stands on all this stuff now. My feeling is it won't be any different from Labour?
