Recommended Posts

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


For 16 July we have two Southwark Healthy Rides, one short and one longer, with registration on Eventbrite. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling (How to cancel). Note the weather forecast for Saturday promises 30 degree plus temperatures. Please dress appropriately, lather on the sun cream and bring plenty drink. By following this advice can have an enjoyable ride despite any high temperatures.


Reminder that we often have photos and short reports on the Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/groups/553896211918871) and longer reports and route info on the Southwark Cyclists web site (https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/)


Rides for July 16th


Some Theatres in Southwark & Lambeth < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/some-theatres-in-southwark-lambeth-cycle-ride-tickets-383036752237 >


Jane is leading a ride we did once before, on 29th March 2019 (see report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-jan-march2019.html) This is a gentle approx. 12 mile ride with lots of stops, so should suit the very warm forecast. Start/finish at the Fuorvito Café, Burgess Park (Chumleigh St). 10 am start, approx. 12 noon finish. Mostly on quiet streets with some stretches of busier road. Will try to post an updated list of theatres and an indication of the likely route later in the week. It will not be massively different from last time, so you can get a good idea from the ride report from 2019 mentioned above. No coffee stop during the ride, but of course can have one at the finish in the park café.


Greenwich to Woolwich via Trinity Buoy Wharf < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/greenwich-to-woolwich-via-trinity-buoy-wharf-cycle-ride-tickets-383071084927 >


Start/finish Cutty Sark, 9.30am. NOTE EARLY START. Amanda leading and aiming to finish around 1pm. We subtitled this ride the last time we did it in 2018 “The New, The Old and The Derelict”. There is now less of the derelict and more of the new and the route has to change to reflect this.. This week the tunnel lifts are all working, but if we have problems can divert to the DLR (so bring travel cards or whatever just in case). There is so much of interest in the East London Docklands. Route will be Greenwich Tunnel, Canary Wharf, Trinity Buoy Wharf, Thames Barrier Park, Connaught Bridge, City Airport, Woolwich Ferry (if running) and south side Thames Path return. About 15 miles. For those of you who have not visited Trinity Buoy Wharf, try to get on this ride. May be hard as those who have been there will want to return! Completely unique site with 2 decent cafes and some interesting art. Plus the history related to Trinity House and Michael Faraday.

Have checked the route and updated the theatres. See attached. Note that it is likely that this ride will take 2½ hours and finish at 12.30 rather than 12 noon as previously stated. Finish will be at Mountview Academy, Peckham Square. We will lead a group back to the start location in Burgess Park for anyone going that way.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
