We have 2 rides for Nov 26th, one 3.5 hours, one 2 hours. 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. Burgess Park to Belsize Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/burgess-park-to-belsize-park-cycle-ride-tickets-470969130347 >


10am, Burgess Park Café (Fuorvito café, 3 Chumleigh Street, SE5 0RJ). Return by 1.30pm. Ride Leader Jane. Here is her plan for the ride. 


Outwards across Blackfriars Bridge, through Bloomsbury, Kings Cross to Camden Town. Steady ascent to Belsize Park via back streets of Kentish Town (no fiendish hills or I wouldn't be doing it!). Brief stop at Isokon building, Lawn Rd (previously featured on Eva's Bauhaus ride), sadly the gallery is now closed for winter months but we'll hear a bit about its history and some of its famous former residents. Return is downhill via Primrose Hill with coffee stop in Regent's Park and back South across Waterloo Bridge through Elephant & Castle and Walworth. Mostly cycle lanes & quiet streets, some short sections of busy roads at times. 16.5 miles, 25.5 km

Ride 2. Exploring Dulwich < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-dulwich-southwark-healthy-cycle-ride-tickets-471073693097 >


Did you know Dulwich has a castle, and football and cycling stadiums, even a Toll Booth!? Come on this easy 9 mile, 2 hour ride and be amazed. Start Dulwich Park Cafe, then up to Dawsons Heights for the view. Next across to Dulwich Hamlet football stadium and down Greendale to Dulwich Village.


Continuing south past Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich College to the only Toll Gate in London. Then loop up to Kingswood House, aka Bovril Castle, back through Bel Air Park, on to Herne Hill Velodrome, and back to Dulwich Park. Bruce leading. Google map: https://goo.gl/CJRHNu

We co-operate with other London Cycling Campaign groups like Greenwich Cyclists. The LCC details are here: https://lcc.org.uk/.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
