We will do a London to Brighton ride at some stage into Spring, but if you are interested in achievements, join the Distances group after the first few rides.


The two groups will start together on the shorter rides to begin with before we get into Spring, and then divide. Before the coast ride, the distance group spend time on 'C' class roads in the country, and they are all.... challenging, basically no flat bits.


Vivienne, is this the V that I know?

Hia - I'd like to come. I have my own bike but I am terrified of roads so I never go out on it - my other half thinks that the group scenario may be the confidence boost I need!

Cheers!

Are we all good for this Sunday?


Just in from Manhattan Island, aka New York!


Beautiful, fun, exciting, live, loads and loads of yellow cabs and ...... heaps of history! But, didn't see that many bikes, other than those that have a battery attached!


So, a nice easy peasy ride to Battersea Park this coming Sunday, starting at 10am from the Texaco Garage in Goose Green, following only flat routes via Bellingdon Road, left to Camberwell, over Vauxhall Bri, left along the Embankment and left again into the Park for an 11am coffee / tea and croissant!


I'll have you back inside for midday. Will repeat this every other Sunday with different parks such as Hyde Park, Southwark Park, Regents Park as they are local and fun to explore and burn, consume and then burn calories :-)


Best!

Yes, it was a brilliant bright sunny morning - a great way to start the fortnightly rides again for 2012!


Next ride is to Hyde Park, following last weeks route of Bellingdon Road, Left up to Camberwell, over Vauxhall Bri and then straight on to Hyde Park Corner. Will then do a circuit of the park and stop for tea, coffee & croissants at the caf? in the park opp the Iranian Embassy - very nice one too.


Proposing the next park as Regents park..... it you notice these will take you progressively further north by a couple of miles week on week. Then, as a complete switch of scenary, we could head upto Brick Lane / Spitalfields via the old Surrey Canal.


Reflecting on last year, the O2 ride & Greenwich were both pretty enjoyable too.



Cheers,


McCabe

I'm considering this - can someone tell me whether it will be suitable for me if I haven't done any cycling in London (apart from one trip to Sainsburys!) - and do we need a helmet? any other equipment? as you can tell, I'm not a regular cyclist, but do have a bike!


thanks.

G'day!


The bike is really important to have, but other than that I recommend a high vis jacket and helmet. I design the routes so the journeys are more-or-less flat... and not too far each way and as a treat, we stop for coffee and croissants in a London Park, in this case Hyde Park. We don't ride through red lights or race, its a nice leisurely pace with support from everyone.


See you at the garage for 10am this Sunday,



Best!


McCabe.

G'day!


I'll be there for the turn out, the weather may have an impact.


So, put the positive hat on and still meet, if it rains lets all have an early brunch somewhere.... ie, croissants & coffee without the big ride.


At work on Monday morning and everyone says Sunday was a wipe out, you turn around and say yep, we didn't do the ride so we all had an early brunch and discussed theatre land etc..... PAT - Plan, Allow (for changes), Try-it! So, you now have an acronym and an anchor!


Welcome to the McCabe world of being positive :))

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
