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


On Oct 29th we will have 2 rides, both approx. 3 hours in duration both heading into north London. 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.


Last week a rider punctured on both our rides. Very unusual. Please carry a spare inner tube or one of those kits for doing an instant repair (such as this one, https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/universal-puncture-repair-spray-nozzle/_/R-p-312454?mc=8573560).


Ride details


Peckham to Westminster and Camden Globes. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/world-reimagined-cycle-ride-westminster-and-camden-globes-tickets-449480928557 >


Philippa leading. More of the “World Reimagined” globes. Over the last few weeks we have ridden to the Globes in the City and in Lambeth and Southwark. Now another set of London Globes in Westminster and Camden. Start/finish Peckham Square, stat 10am. Not a long ride, leaving plenty time for reading the information at each globe, estimate back at Peckham about 1pm. Route will be over Waterloo Bridge, Covent Garden, Kings Cross (Coal Drops yard etc) and coffee stop in Camden. Official route for these globes is at https://jod.theworldreimagined.org/trails/london/london:-camden---westminster/3 but note we are not going to get to them all.


London Bridge to Parliament Hill < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-parliament-hill-fields-cycle-ride-tickets-449475191397 >


Bruce leading. 13 mile loop with time to compare the views from Parliament Hill and Primrose Hill. 10.00 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Southwark Gateway Needle, south east side of London Bridge, close to the station. Outward route will pass St Pauls, pause at Kings Cross (Granary Square), through atmospheric St Pancras Cemetery, then roads (some busy) to Parliament Hill Fields. Will stop at the Café for a break. Energetic riders can walk up to the viewpoint – there will be time for that. Return route will pass the Roundhouse then ascend Primrose Hill. From there go through Regents Park, then across Bloomsbury, past UCL and the British Museum.


Finally join the Cycleway as far as the Monument before crossing back over London Bridge. A mostly quiet route except for about a mile along Kentish Town Road and Highgate Road.

These rides are part of the Healthy Riders group, organised by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/. Like everything else we do, our activities are all free. We co-operate with other London Cycling Campaign groups like Greenwich Cyclists. The LCC details are here: https://lcc.org.uk/.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
