social cycle ride on the trail of dinosaurs Sat Dec 2nd

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)

    • Dulwich College had the "luck" of those allegations landing right in the middle of COVID when the media and everyone else was a bit distracted. And then to make double sure the discontent was suppressed, it threatened kids who wanted to demonstrate with police action. The kids at the time said: "Dulwich College has for years totally ignored, dismissed and condoned by turning a blind eye, this predatory behaviour by students... A protest was students’ only way to pressure the headmaster to actually tackle the sexual violence at his school.” The march by pupils of several schools was advertised on social media as “a demonstration against the predatory culture of Dulwich College and the school management [which] condones it". https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
    • @Cyclemonkey@Penguin68 Yes I heard that... I thought it was thunder at first and it did indeed sound like shelling
    • So if we were to give the council the benefit of the doubt there is a chance this might be net beneficial to Peckham rye? There’s a slim chance someone somewhere has crunched the numbers and not done this purely to annoy us? 
    • In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us.
