sociable cycle ride Sat Sept 28th starts 10am Peckham Square

Not exactly attractive weather to be publicising bike rides but, hey, right now Saturday's the only day in the next week without a blob of rain scheduled on it.


So here goes: the next ride is the Peckham to Blackheath Loop leaving Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR) at 10am and returning at 12 noon


The route has been tweaked a bit to include Telegraph Hill. That's a hill of course but it has a great view over London. After that the group will come down to Brookmill Park and follow a not too steep river route up to Blackheath and Greenwich Park. At Lewisham there will be a small diversion to look at the new landscaping at the confluence of the Ravensbourne and the Quaggy.


There's another short stop planned at the entrance to Greenwich Park where there are loos and then a return down through the park and along Quietway 1 (now renamed Cycleway 1) which is a favourite route and by far the best Quietway so far. The round trip is 10.5 miles, all quiet streets or paths. There are steep bits but plenty of time is allowed for walking the short steep bits. A route map is here:



These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
