Totally FREE! E' Dul Cycle Rides: Sundays 9-30am London Pks & Blue Plaques short rides: Dates TBC


Recommended Posts

Hi there,


Its only a few miles out and back. We move at a casual pace and stop if-need-be every 1/2 mile.


Looks like a couple more are joining us that are not on this list too!



Come along and I will look after you :-)

Really enjoyed today - thanks! Nice easy pace, the only sweat I built up was after I left you, on the last stretch up hill to my house so definitely keen to start cycling to work now. Looking forward to the next run.

Such a great ride yesterday and in the Sun too.


* 28th April - Spitlefields: Towerbridge, Bricklane and more....


This is a 'MUST' ride, heading via Peckham library, up the old Surrey Canal to the doorstep and then over Tower Bridge. East bound along the Highway for 1/2 mile and then north bound through the back streets of towards Whitechapel and Spitlefiels.


PM me if you would like to be added to the email list!

Texaco Garage, at Goose Green.


Bring some change for coffee and cake etc.... Ideally, wear hi vis and a crash hat :-)


We meet for 9-30am and leave 5-mins later heading down Bellenden Road. If anyone lives near the Peck Library, we will be passing through there at c. 9-45am.

Hi to all,


Pump up your tyre ready for tomorrow morning guys!


Meet for 9-30am with a 9-35am departure. Rendezvous at the Peckham Library for c.9-45am to collect anyone else.



McCabe

What a super ride!


Gosh! Anyone working in the city and paying 'silly billy' fares to work each day need a 'retrospective checking'.


Jump on bike, head back streets to Peckham library, follow the old 'Surrey Canal' for a mile or so, take a few back and quite roads - you are now 500m from Tower or London Bridge!


Next ride is to Hyde Park, around the main perimeter, then settle at the caf? opp the Iranian Embassy for coffee and cake.




McCabe

Thanks for the cycle yesterday. I cycled to work today and got there without a problem but got very lost on the way home and completely over shot the canal path! Obviously didn't concentrate very well on our way back yesterday! Be great if Dan could upload the route we did because I can't work it out. Can anyone recommend good cycle route app? Google map app doesn't have the cycle option like it does on the internet.


Thanks McCabe, looking forward to the next one

I'm not so inundated with work and stress now, so I might try and get out on Sunday. I liked the bike rides I went on last year and feel like I should really pull my finger out now the weather has improved.

You bet Hyde Park is on!


The Weather suggests that its going to be warm and sunny in the morning and clouding over in the afternoon.


Will meet for the usual 9-25am at the Texaco Garage by Goose Green and head off on the dot for 9-35am.


Bellenden Road, take a left up to Camberwell, Oval, Vauxhal (dismount and cycle path to Vauxhall Bri), then back on the road and up to Victoria, Hyde Park. We will then take an anti clockwise ride in the park to Speakers Corner, and then along to and over the Serpentine. Our finally destination is the caf? opp the Iranian Embassy.


**New Ones**

This is totally FREE and at an easy going pace. No jumping redlights, cycling on pavements and advisable to wear a high vis top and helmet. Bring some change for tea and cake!



Best!


McCabe.

I'm really gutted that I can't come now, as my mum is visiting for the day!! I was really looking forward to it too.


Will you do this route again at some point McCabe?


I'm definitely up for the next one :)

Just updated the next ride to search out the London 'Blue Plaques'.


Rather than trying to do zillions at one time, we can sector it to parts of London as the rides continue into Autumn. The following ride will be to Southwark Park and the next to the Cutty Sark in Greenwich.


Today was a great ride with the weather and sun just about on our side. As always, I took the team past my favourite restuarant in Chelsea enroute back called 'Buona Sera at the Jam', 289 Kings Road.



And, we were back indoors for noon!

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
