The temperature is forecast to have risen only marginally by Saturday but, hey, those forecasters have been wrong before.


This ride starts 10am and finishes 12 noon at the Pavilion Cafe, by the duck pond in Dulwich Park http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?rtp=adr.~pos.51.4466285705566_-0.0827760025858879_College+Rd%2c+London+SE21+7BQ_Pavilion+Cafe_020+8299+1383


It's one of Southwark Cyclists usual easy-paced 2 hour rides using mostly quiet streets and paths. Amanda is going to lead this one. For those who feel that they cycle uphill to Dulwich Park there is a lot more up to come to get to Crystal Palace Park but the group will take it slowly and if necessary walk the steep bits.


Then it's a tour round the park - see the dinosaurs, the ponds etc. The dinosaurs are looking good after some much needed restorative work. More info here: http://www.culture24.org.uk/science-and-nature/dinosaurs-and-fossils/art545172-iggy-dinosaur-crystal-palace-park-exhibition.


Back up to the top of the park and finally a lovely downhill run back to Dulwich Park. The precise route is still a work in progress but they will work it out before Saturday.


Southwark cyclists is the borough group of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer, fun on bikes. Everything we do is free and everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a member of anything to join in and you don't need to live in Southwark. I wouldn't say there are no rules -- there's the usual stuff about keep your clothes on and be polite but there's little temptation not to do the former at the moment and no one has ever been rude (in either sense)

    • 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
