sociable cycle ride Saturday June 2nd


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
