free social cycle rides Saturday May 15th


Recommended Posts

Just listening to the PM telling us that the road map will proceed and from the 17th we will be able to have groups of 30 outdoors. So after this week no longer need to keep to groups of 6 when off our bikes. But we do have one more week - this week - when we have to keep to the present rules. From the 22nd we plan to increase slightly the numbers per ride, but will continue as now with Eventbrite booking.


Ride 1. Rotherhithe to Peckham Routes. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/rotherhithe-to-peckham-routes-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-154263892455


10am to 12 noon. Flat 9 mile ride so pretty easy-paced. Some cycle lane or path, also some busier stretches. Bruce leading. Start/finish Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station, SE16 7AR. A few years back funding for a new cycle route from Rotherhithe to Peckham was announced. This has not happened. But worth looking at existing routes and at places where new developments offer opportunities to improve routes or provide additional quality cycle path. Plan is to go from Canada Water to Peckham, then back all way to Thames by a different route, then return to Canada Water. So a good ride for learning some new routes. Probable route on Google Maps at

. This also indicates some of the places where developments have occurred or are planned.


Ride 2. Cutty Sark to Beckenham Place Park. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cutty-sark-to-beckenham-place-park-southwark-cyclists-healthy-ride-tickets-154267110079


10am start at Cutty Sark, next to the Foot Tunnel entrance. Approx. 2.5 hours. 12 miles, so nice easy pace. Bill leading. Out and back ride using lots of National Route 21 from Deptford to Bell Green. This includes the Waterlink Way, one of the nicest cycle routes in London, nearly all off road and flat. The Mansion at Beckenham Place Park is impressive. The improvements to the Homestead include a new Caf?, so we will have a coffee break there. Note we are experimenting with a Waiting List for this ride. Hope it works!


These rides are supported by Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. They are organised by Bruce Lynn who can be contacted on 07729 279 945. Enjoy.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
