> In 2022 let?s resolve to get plenty of exercise, especially cycling. To get going here is our first ride for 2022 starting from Peckham at 10am on New Year?s Day itself. Registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are occasional cancellations during the week. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.

> 10am to approx. 12.30. Start/finish Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). With Jean and John leading route will head up to Peckham Rye and via LCN 22 to Ladywell Fields. Join lovely traffic-free Waterlink Way (National Route 21) and follow Ravensbourne and Pool Rivers to New Beckenham and on to Beckenham Place Park. Return by different route that starts with quiet streets followed by a very short stretch of busy road at Catford where we rejoin the outward route at Ladywell Fields. Then follow outward route back to Peckham. Will take a break at the park and view the Mansion and perhaps stroll down to the swimming lake, possibly get a coffee if any of the cafes are open. About 14 miles. Route map at

All the places on this ride were taken within a couple of hours. Ride organiser Bruce Lynn will lead a second ride to open up more spaces. This means that we can meet and chat at the beginning and end of the ride. The two groups will set off 5-10 apart.

If you tried to sign up before but couldn't, please try again.

    • Hello:  Can anyone recommend a football club where girls age 7 years old can play?   Ideally in SE21 / SE22.  Thanks,
    • That's not what I said and you know it. 
    • 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.
