NOTE. You must register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.


On Feb 26th we will have 2 rides, both 3.5 hours. 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; also try going on the Wait List. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


Feb 26th Ride details


London Bridge to Design Museum (Holland Park).


10am to 13.30pm. Jamie leading. Ride will start at Southwark Needle at 10am taking in Hyde Park, Holland Park, Speakers Corner, The Mall, Horse Guards Parade, Parliament Square and back to Southwark Needle by 1.30pm. Those that want can have 20 mins in the Design Museum during our coffee break there. Pretty much flat route with usual format of paths and quiet streets as much as possible and a very civilised pace.


Dulwich to Morden Hall


Start 10am, Dulwich Clock Caf?, Dulwich Park, SE21 7BQ. Back at Dulwich Park for 1.30pm. Outward route via Brockwell Park, Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common to Earlsfield (mostly LCN25). Join the Wandle Trail and follow this largely off-road route to Morden Hall Park. This is National Trust, but the grounds and, importantly, the Tea Room or open to the public. Coffee break there. Return route follows Wandle trail back to Colliers Wood, then takes the more direct Cycleway 7 along the A24. Not so scenic, but cycle lanes and other protection have been improved in recent years. At Clapham Common rejoin the outward route (LCN25) back to Dulwich Park via Herne Hill. About 18 miles, some hills, nothing severe. Jean and John leading. Route at https://www.strava.com/activities/5690167719.

    • 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.
