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


We have 2 rides for Nov 19th, one 3.5 hours, one 3 hours. Note both rides start at 9.30, not the usual 10am. Remember you should register on Eventbrite, details below. 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).


Ride 1. London Bridge to Camden Lock < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-camden-lock-cycle-ride-tickets-467133447717 >


Camden Lock - shops, markets, cafes, busy. On a ride, normally avoid it. However, it is a great destination – and lots of options for a coffee stop. Start 9.30am at Southwark Needle, London Bridge with Amanda leading for an estimated 3.5 hour ride. Outward route along south side to Westminster Bridge, then Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Oxford St, Baker St, Regents Park Outer Circle, Camden High St. Coffee stop. Return Canal Tow Path to Kings Cross Granary Square, Cycleway 6 to Farringdon, up Ludgate Hill and past St Pauls. Down to Cycleway 3 and if time loop over Tower Bridge and Tooley St back to London Bridge. Some roads with lots of traffic. But pretty much non-stop sight-seeing and photo-ops!



Ride 2. London Bridge to Woolwich < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-woolwich-cycle-ride-tickets-467134260147>


The novelty on this ride will be the use of the Elizabeth Line for the outward leg. We will also have our first look at the new segregated cycle lanes on the main road route back from Charlton to Greenwich. Start 9.30 at Southwark Needle (London Bridge) for an estimated 3 hour ride with Bruce leading.


There are 3 stages to the ride. First we will ride to Whitechapel Station. Step free access is from the back entrance on Durward St. Stage 2 is the Elizabeth Line to Woolwich Arsenal. Bring travel card or equivalent.


Stage 3 will be the 9 mile ride back to London Bridge. For this stage will use the Thames path to Anchor and Hope Lane, then inland to Woolwich Rd where will join the segregated lanes on Woolwich Rd. Continue on the segregated lanes for 2km to Old Woolwich Rd, Greenwich, then side streets, through the Naval College site and bit of Thames path then join Cycleway 4. New segregated lanes to Rainsborough Ave where segregation ends, on to side streets to Plough Way, round Greenland Dock and through the Shopping Centre car park to Hothfield place. Short stretch of Lower Rd then the segregated lanes along Jamaica Rd and finally Tooley St back to London Bridge.


Short coffee stop during return leg. Quite a complex ride. Looking for a logistic challenge? This is the ride for you!

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
