Rides for Saturday 29th May aka Bank Holiday Weekend


Exploring Dulwich


Did you know Dulwich has a castle, and football and cycling stadiums, even a Toll Booth!? Come on this easy 9 mile, 2 hour ride and be amazed.


Start Dulwich Park Cafe, then up to Dawsons Heights for the view. Next across to Dulwich Hamlet football stadium and down Greendale to Dulwich Village. Continuing south past Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich College to the only Toll Gate in London. Then loop up to Kingswood House, aka Bovril Castle, back through Bel Air Park, on to Herne Hill Velodrome, and back to Dulwich Park. Bruce leading. Google map: https://goo.gl/CJRHNu


Cutty Sark to Cody Dock via Woolwich.


Cody Dock is one of those places that is guaranteed to renew your faith in the human race! Come and find out why. Amanda leading. Here are her notes on the ride. "Cody Dock is open and looking forward to our visit. The dock is in a bit of a state though as a new cafe is being built where that old ship was and there is a lack of seating (temporary cafe is now situated at the main entrance. There is a porta-loo. Route: Thames Path - O2 - Thames Barrier - Woolwich Ferry - City Airport - Beckton Park - Greenway ? River Lee Path - Three Mills - Cody Dock - Canning Town/Bow Creek - Dollar Bay - Mudchute - Island Gardens. Track attached.


The cross river tunnels: At Woolwich one of each of the lifts (North or South are out of action to discourage users) so I suggest we wait for the free Woolwich Ferry on the outward leg. On the return Northside- Island Gardens, some could take the DLR to Greenwich if the lifts are out.




Route: 17.5 miles 3.5 hour ride with half-hour stop at CD (ride leader Amanda rode the route in just under two hours so that's a guide as to how long it should take). Fairly flat ride, with a few bridges to up and over. "

      Hello:  Can anyone recommend a football club where girls age 7 years old can play?   Ideally in SE21 / SE22.  Thanks,

      Dulwich Leisure Centre - cold showers today - update

      I disagree, it was pretty filthy back then, plus the issues that Southwark have had were the ones left by EA.

      I've been cycling in London for decades. The two times a vehicle knocked me off my bicycle, were in conditions that were well lit (one was daylight) and the night time one was just me and the vehicle on the road. Both the driver's fault. The point it that most drivers are perfectly capable of seeing a bicycle in most conditions, just as they are capable of seeing a child or dog run out in front of them. Who knows why a small percentage are incapable of doing that, but gaslighting the victim is not the answer. Are there wreckless cyclists? Sure. Just as there are reckless drivers and pedestrians. But it's worth remembering that millions of roads users navigate their journeys perfectly safely every day. As a driver, you are taught to check your mirrors regularly (not just when considering an manoevre), and the first rule of the Highway Code, is to always avoid an accident if you can. My attitude when using the roads it to always expect someone to do something stupid/ wreckless. I look for it. That is the best way of avoiding any accident, no matter what form of transport you use.
