This one starts outside Canada Water library, opposite Canada Water station (SE16 7AR) and takes a round trip to Dulwich Park and back. Return by 12 noon (usually on the dot)

It's a repeat of ride on June 11th last year and a round trip of 11 miles with some gentle uphills. It's a useful way to learn the way to Dulwich Park if you don't live near there. Some of the social rides will be starting from there during the summer.

The outward route will follow the railway paths (NR425) through Bridgehouse Meadows, Brimington Park, Peckham Rye Park. Returning the group will take Crystal Palace Rd, Peckham Square, east edge of Burgess Park, Southwark Park. Mostly quiet roads or paths. A few major road crossings, but all straightforward. Route at https://goo.gl/IWkKmN.

Those of you who came on the ride last week will know this already but for those that didn't: please make sure you have a spare inner tube and carry it with you on the rides. Last week we had a puncture that was not reparable so we needed an inner tube and the bike had 26" wheels, which is smaller than most of us so no-one had a spare the correct size. Big delay.... For more info phone Bruce on 07729 279 945

- Possible lost black Irish wolf hound Peckham rye park

  Big black Irish wolfhound wandering around Peckham rye on the grassy area near the smaller playground (not the cafe one). Couldn’t see an obvious owner, he had a collar on and very placid but no details on collar. He wandered off (and I wasn’t in a position to stay) but please can folks keep an eye out if he’s still wandering about later in case he has been abandoned. Park ranger numbers were not working 😞

- New homes vs inferstructure
  
  By Spartacus · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water. Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed. Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are, potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ?
