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

    • Generally speaking, some medium size market towns and lesser cities always seem more  prone to random violence and aggro generally than anywhere I’ve been in London 
    • Familiarity is important, I lived near Brixton in the old days and was fairly comfortable, but for many years avoided Peckham.  That has reversed in the last 15 years.   I recall around Dalston and the A10 and burned out cars.  Now super trendy. Pub violence has largely gone but that was groups of men getting drunk on Saturday night and brawling.  Similarly little football violence, East Dulwich/West Peckham was edgy last century.
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   Rod comes highly recommended. He recently completed a challenging job in my garden, fox-proofing an outhouse using a large amount of hardcore and slate. The work involved a great deal of effort, but Rod handled it with professionalism and care from start to finish.   He specialises in working with stone, and it really shows in the quality of his work. He is also an incredibly hard worker, tackling the project with determination and skill. Throughout, he was responsive and reliable, always keeping me updated and communicating clearly.   I really appreciated the practical advice he offered along the way, which showed both his experience and his commitment to doing the job properly. On top of all that, his pricing was very reasonable, and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.   If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, hardworking, and knowledgeable, Rod is an excellent choice. His number is 07739180197
