Recommended Posts

For 2nd Sept we have 2 rides.  One an all day excursion to Richmond Park and the second a shortish ride up and down the Waterlink Way.  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. Most rides have a report on the Southwark Cyclists web site. Usually some photos. Often route information in case you want to try it yourself. Link is https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2023/. 

Dulwich to Richmond Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-richmond-park-cycle-ride-tickets-707966846897

Meet at Dulwich Park Café (Dulwich Clock Café, middle of the park). Depart at 10am. Jean leading. Outward leg lots of quiet streets aiming to reach Richmond Park for lunch at Pembroke Lodge (bring own sandwich or buy at Lodge).  Return either by train from Richmond station to Clapham Junction/Waterloo or cycle back to Dulwich. If cycling back, reckon to be at Dulwich by 3pm, 22 miles total.  

Peckham - Waterlink Way - Cutty Sark Loop https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/peckham-waterlink-way-cutty-sark-circular-cycle-ride-tickets-70797547269

13 mile easy cycling route. Start/finish Peckham. Meet 10am, back at 1pm. Ride to Ladywell Fields, then up and down Waterlink Way. This is one of the nicest off-road paths in London, about 1.2 miles.  Then National Route 21 via Brookmill Park to Cutty Sark. Final leg back to Peckham via Folkstone Gardens and Bridgehouse Meadows.  Easy ride. Bit of uphill at start then downhill or flat. Lots of off road or cycle lane. Good ride for less confident cyclists – and a coffee stop at Ladywell Fields (Good Hope Café).  Google map of route: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1evRH6uw3lByyIjmMxnVsEyyMoSMp27g&usp=sharing 

These rides are organised by Southwark Cyclists and are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
