Cycle route to Marathon preparations Sat April 27th 10am


Recommended Posts

Not Marathon in Greece but THE Marathon this Sunday. This ride will look at how London is getting ready. Not getting in the way.


It starts in Peckham Square which is between Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR. The most obvious landmark is probably the Arch and picture is attached. The ride starts at 10am and finishes two hours later in the same place. Riders will be making their way over to the starting line of the Marathon (not the start which is on Sunday) and there's an alternative meeting place at St Mary's Gate into Greenwich Park at the end of King William Walk at around 10.35am.


This is the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. This London Marathon-themed ride will be lead by Simon (veteran of many London marathons) who will talk about about this famous event. The route isn't finalised yet but provisionally it will be

    • This is amazing! Looks so good. Well done Dan et al! Glad to have contributed to this lovely history.
    • Hi All Following incredible assistance from The Dulwich Society, a visit to the Southwark Archives and lots local insight from this forum, social media and visitors to ed we have created a visual history of ed's home, 41 North Cross Road. We think it looks great, you can see it on our Instagram and Facebook pages: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6UJsC3MDsS/ https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=947290310732033&set=pcb.947290447398686 There is a much less pretty but more detailed version for anyone interested. Many thanks for all your help. Dan  
    • So you are a ‘member’ 😳whatever that means, but also not. It’s not very clear…. But also totally transparent. Miaow 💅😂 Maybe I will, maybe I won’t 😂 What is interesting about your questions is that they suggest, as usual, that you see everything as a really basic binary opposition (cars vs bike, anti LTN vs pro-council etc). It’s not very nuanced Rocks. I don’t have great love for Southwark council as I suspect you assume. That said, neither do I have a lot of time for the apocalyptic hyperbole of those still upset over a fairly minor change to a road junction in the village, made several years ago, and which actually creates a nice public space for pedestrians and a bit more safety for kids travelling to school by bike. Ah, what the hell, let’s play…as you asked so nicely: The one that took place between May and July 2021 I don’t know much about this. It seems it was reopened though? Apparently they have the agreement of the emergency services this time, (which perhaps does suggests they didn’t consult with them properly the first time round). Of course someone (the mysterious Mr One?) believes the emergency services are being intimidated somehow (possibly by commies) so maybe Southwark still haven’t learnt their lesson? No, I don’t. Although I hear the Mysterious Mr One would like it redesigned to make things clearer. 😂 As for your ‘question 3 sub-points’ I don’t actually agree with their premise (a bit of the old ‘how often do you beat your wife’ framing going on there… slippery 😂) Anyway good luck with the referendum.
