This two-hour, easy-paced ride, using mostly quiet streets and paths, starts at 10am at Dulwich Clock Cafe in the middle of Dulwich Park, SE21 7BQ, and finishes at 12 noon in the same place.

There are some short stretches of busier road and also some hills, but the hills are short, and there is time built in to push your bike up these. allow time to walk these.

The route leads from Dulwich Park up to Horniman Museum, then over the hill to Sydenham Station and on to Cator Park where it joins National Route 21, aka the Waterlink Way, and follows this nearly to Catford. The Waterlink Way is lovely, miles of some of the nicest off-road path in south London, and should be in everyone's cycling repertoire. It's a little known gem. The ride comes back on quiet streets to Honor Oak then up and over the hill to return to Dulwich Park.

The route map is at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1X0v0PkV-RBf_5B-_-psG95-6V2I&ll=51.43914910000002%2C-0.053386700000089604&z=13. It looks very complicated to me but that's for the ride leaders to worry about.

  This is the chart that the DFT published last week that triggered the Cycling Weekly article. Clearly, nationally, something isn't working and I wonder if the approach taken needs a complete rethink and overhaul as if this is the result of a £2bn investment then clearly it is not delivering any ROI - but isn't a 2% or so increase what has been seen in the City of London (per Carlton Reid's "More bikes than cars in the city now" article) so maybe this is consistent in cities too and 2% increase is all that anywhere has seen?

  I meant that particular Sainsbury's, but perhaps I am being too hard on it. But then I remember Sainsbury's in the days before there were supermarkets .....

  Pudding rice used to be in the same aisle as tinned fruit if that helps?? My preference is the Sainsburys fruit and veg aisle over Morrison any day of the week and Lidl, although I adore Lidl for other things they sell and their speciality weeks. However Sainsburys size of peppers varies (small to moderate) week to week but the price remains constant, fresh mushrooms are hit and miss, some weeks they have them other weeks what's there I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Gave up on the oranges as they also became much smaller but at the same price. Nectar is a money saver compared o the price without the Nectar reduction. That's the same for all four of the big brand supermarkets. It may have flaws but saving money is what its about. Just some thoughts.

  I also had an awful experience there last month. The hairdresser started cutting my child’s hair before even knowing what kind of cut we wanted, and when I started to say what I would like, she said that she knows what she’s doing and just continued. They were also incredibly rude about the fact that I’d brought a buggy with me, and had no patience when my child started to get even a little distracted. Just very unfriendly.
