NB Please register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below. 

 We have 2 rides for the 18th Nov. Both are rides we did about this time last year. Amanda’s longish Camden Market ride and my short Streatham Common ride. One from London Bridge, the other from Dulwich. Two quite different rides, so you can choose whichever suits you best. 

NOTE. These are the rides for next week. On this Saturday, Nov 11th, we have the Lord Mayors Show  ride starting at London Bridge < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lord-mayors-show-cycle-ride-tickets-750929258627 > and Parks, Cemeteries and a Museum ride from Peckham. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/parks-cemeteries-and-a-museum-peckham-to-horniman-museum-cycle-ride-tickets-750916219627 >  

Ride 1.  London Bridge to Camden Lock < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-camden-lock-cycle-ride-tickets-754926614827 >  

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 (south end of London Bridge, close to the station, SE1 2PF) 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! Report from last year at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/ride-reports-nov-19th-2022/ 

 

Ride 2.  Dulwich to Streatham Common  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-streatham-common-cycle-ride-tickets-754945009847>  

 Ride Leader Bruce. Start 10am for a 2 hour ride. Start/finish location the Café in Dulwich Park. Short ride (8 miles), undulating, should be time for a coffee at the Rookery Café on the Common and for a peep at the striking Rookery gardens. Mostly street cycling, some sections a bit busy. Will look in at the velodrome. On the return route excellent views from Norwood Park then finish with a long downhill back to Dulwich. Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1kBbbdTgFkDK21x3M60BAGCWP5FyFhirl&usp=sharing.  Report from last year at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2022/ride-reports-15th-oct-2022/. 

If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. How to cancel link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/help/en-gb/articles/575010/how-to-cancel-your-free-registration/

Healthy Ride, Peckham to Streatham, has been cancelled. Sorry about this, but family issues mean I cannot lead on Saturday.  No-one had signed up yet on Eventbrite and we have space on the London Bridge to Camden ride, link for registration https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-camden-lock-cycle-ride-tickets-754926614827?aff=oddtdtcreator

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
