 Ride 1  Hidden secrets: Peckham to London Bridge Loop < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hidden-secrets-peckham-to-london-bridge-loop-ride-tickets-728824592977 

10am start from Peckham Square (by Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). Simon S leading. The route takes in lots of hidden gems, including the Skip House, Iliffe Yard artisan workshops, Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens (Pasley Park), a Tangerine Tree, some WWII stretchers and Del Boy’s Reliant Robin. About 12 miles, very flat, taking 2.5 hours - which gives us time for a coffee stop at the Little Cat Café in Myatt’s Field Park.  Will as usual ride as much as possible on quiet streets and paths. We last did this ride in Nov 2021 with the emphasis on flood risk. The sea levels predicted if CO2 targets are missed would mean most of the route would be under water.  Pause for thought…  Route on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1bwtJBZIypO6HXpAGPUrD9QqKhm2xlOw&usp=sharing . GPX route file attached.

 

 Ride 2. Burgess Park to Wandsworth and Putney  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/burgess-park-to-wandsworth-and-putney-cycle-ride-tickets-728835535707 >.  

Start/Finish Burgess Park (Fuorvito Cafe, Chumleigh Gardens, Off Albany Rd. SE5 0RJ). Start 10am, finish 1.30pm. Outward route will go via Vauxhall and Battersea Power Station to Battersea Park. Then across the park and on to the nice paths along the Battersea and Wandsworth riverside, eventually reaching Wandsworth Park. Coffee break in Wandsworth Park during return, but sadly no time for a round on the well-maintained Crazy Golf Course. If time, for those who wish to, will lead a further 1km to have a look at the rowers on the Putney Embankment. Return route has great contrasts. Back along the river to the bridge over Bell Lane Creek, the mouth of the River Wandle. Then head south into Wandsworth town centre along shared use pavement and across cycle crossings to avoid the traffic on the 1-way system. Next King George’s Park with a nice path by the Wandle. At the south end of the park, turn left and start heading home via Wandsworth and Clapham Commons. 28km, a lot of park and riverside is traffic free. Bruce leading. Route at https://goo.gl/94U3Ve.  Last ridden May 7th 2022, report at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/burgess-park-to-wandsworth-may-7th-2022/ 

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/.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
