sociable cycle ride Sat October 28th

This is a two-hour ride starting from Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse, SE15 5JR) at 10am and returning to the same place at 12 noon. The forecast is good -- cool, thin cloud, and not much wind.


Outward route to Blackheath goes via Brookmill Park but mirabile dictu a new, less steep, route up to Blackheath and Greenwich Park has been found. Even pushing up the previous route was a slog. The return is along Quietway 1 turning south at Bridgehouse Meadows and then via Brimmington Park.


All in all about 9 miles. I couldn't say it's all flat but most of it is. The route is at https://goo.gl/itW2R4


This ride is organised by southwark cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer cycling in London. Most of us are members but you don't have to be. Most of us live in Southwark but you don't have to. It's all free and as welcoming as we can make it

    • The problem is not generally with the stores or drivers - who generally are doing the best they can and receive peanuts for each package. (Rumored that Evri will pay only 20-30p to a shop that receives/sends a parcel). The problem is the business model of these courier companies that do not invest in infrastructure or depots, but just outsource everything and set "contractor" drivers impossible targets. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/dec/08/christmas-parcel-delivery-drivers-driven-to-the-edge
    • I don’t think that this is a Barry’s-specific issue in the area. I’m constantly having parcels refused for delivery at the InPost lockers outside the Family Store on Upland as well as at the Esso garage by the Rye
    • I was several miles away and I didn't miss it, as apparently didn't lots of others also several miles away. But as I and others reported although we guessed it was fireworks it sounded more like the WWI front line, albeit from a distance! 
    • Due to many people's packed social schedules at this time of year, we are giving the December Forum Drinks a miss and restarting at the EDT  in January (if they will have us! I think we have all been well behaved so far!) Wishing everybody  a very happy festive season xxx
