And the good news is that it should be a bit warmer than last Saturday. There isn't any bad news. The ride starts at 10am and finishes two hours later at Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ.


This is the usual easy-paced ride and the destination this time is Beckenham Place Park. The group will leave the park via the Roseberry Gate onto the South Circular but don't be afraid -- cyclists can legally cycle on the pavement on both sides of the South Circular and that's what the group will be doing. They will turn towards the old Harvester junction and turn right up Lordship lane, past the Horniman and then down London Road, using mostly cycle and bus lanes.


At the junction at Forest Hill Station, everyone will dismount and use the crossing and the pedestrian underpass before continuing to Mayow Park, Bell Green and the Waterlink Way (National Route NR21). The WW way is a delightful route along the Ravensbourne bits of which have been rewilded, presumably so they can flood in places which don't matter.


They go south briefly on NR21 before turning left under the railway and following quiet streets to Beckenham Place Park (see pic). There will be a brief stop at the Palladian-style 18th century mansion then back by the same route to the Waterlink Way. Variation on the way back and a lot more of the completely off-road Waterlink Way which is always nice. Over the footbridge in Ladywell Park which is not nice and back to Peckham Rye Park following LCN22, through the park and back to the Court Lane entrance to Dulwich Park.


There's a route map here:

in case all those names and streets have given you a headache. The distance is about 10 miles. I couldn't honestly tell you it was flat but the footbridge in Ladywell Park is the worst bit.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
