Feb 19th Ride details


Canada Water-South Bank - Deptford - Canada Water Loop.


10am to 12.30 noon. Bruce leading. Easy ride that uses the Cycleways across north Southwark. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square, SE16 7AR, next to Canada Water Library and opposite the station. Begin by picking up Cycleway 14 on the Albion Channel close to Canada Water. Follow C14 past the Brunel Museum and the Salter Statues to Jamaica Rd. Small section of C4 and a cycle crossing to Tanner St. Continue on C14 past Guys Hospital and through Flat Iron Square to Blackfriars Rd. Leave C14 here and head north on C6 to Upper Ground and follow this to the South Bank. Possible coffee break there. Continue along Upper Ground and join C10 (Quietway 1) at Cornwall Rd. Route heads back on C10 past the Old Vic, continue through Trinity Square, past Crol Caf? on Dunton Rd, over the Connect 2 Sustrans Bridge, past Millwall Stadium, through Folkstone Gardens, eventually to Deptford High St. Probably turn there and head for the river and pick up National Route 4, the Thameside route, back to Canada Water. This becomes C14 at South Dock and continues through Russia Woodland to the Albion Channel where we first joined it. Aimed at newish cyclists to show the E-W routes in the north of the borough. But plenty of interest for even experienced cyclists. 11 miles. Route at https://bit.ly/30lzAza.


Greenwich to Lesnes Abbey


9.30 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Cutty Sark. Note the slightly earlier 9.30 start. Amanda leading. 20 mile route largely follows the river, keeping to the south side. Outward takes the Thames path round the Greenwich peninsula and continuing to Woolwich and Thamesmead. After an ascent of the famous Thamesmead Tor, heads inland on mostly paths to Lesnes Abbey and a well-deserved coffee break and a quick look at the ruins of the Abbey. On the return use more of the linear, elevated, Ridgeway path to Woolwich, then Thames path again until the Ecology Park at N Greenwich. Cut across the peninsula to save your legs and finish along a short stretch of Thames path to Cutty Sark. High proportion of this route is on off-road paths. Loads to see, including riding past the O2, Thames Barrier and the steel men (?Assembly? by Peter Burke) at Woolwich Arsenal.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
