Please note the earlier start time of 9.30am. The ride is longer and ends at 1pm. It's one of the Plus rides and takes longer in order to go further at the usual easy pace.


The group meets at Greenwich Foot Tunnel entrance, next to Cutty Sark SE10 9HT for a re-run of Amanda's great route to Cody Dock. Riders did this on Jan 20th but weather was awful and only a handful of riders turned up. The forecast for this Saturday is a lot better with nice sun symbols, a temperature of 19C predicted for 1pm and light winds. So for all you fair weather cyclists, here is another chance to ride this circuit - loads to see, lots of off road.


The plan is to ride clockwise starting through the tunnel, then beside Millwall Docks, across to Canning town and thence to Cody Dock. Stop there for a coffee and a look around (photos from ride on April 29th, 2017 here: http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-april-may-2017.html).


From Cody Dock, the return is by a long swing up to 3 Mills on the Lee, pick up the Greenway to Becton, then south to the Royal Docks (past City Airport) and North Woolwich. The group will cross river either by tunnel or, if possible, on the ferry and come home along the south side Thames path past the Flood Barrier and the O2. A picture of the route is attached.


About 17 miles and flat, so over 3.5 hours, a nice easy pace.The route is here:

Free, all welcome.


These rides are run by Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer and more enjoyable cycling. Our ride leaders are insured in case anything goes wrong. There is a group pretending to run rides in our name. Their rides will not be covered by our insurance.


Our website (the true, the one and only) is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. If a ride isn't on here the ride leader isn't insured. The terminally curious can email [email protected] for more info or text me on 07842 640 207. Or forget the whole thing and enjoy the ride :)

      Stolen mobile phones - where do they go?

      Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.

      Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast

      Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
