There are again two contrasting rides on March 2nd, a 4-4½ hour one from London Bridge to Alexandra Palace with a 9.30 start and a 2-2½ hour, 10 o’clock ride hunting dragons in the City.

Ride 1.  Mar 2nd. London Bridge to Alexandra Palace  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-bridge-to-alexandra-palace-tickets-845315079157 >  Ally Pally was 150 years old last year. We missed the anniversary but now intend to make up for that with a ride celebrating its 151st year. Start 9.30am, Southwark Gateway Needle, south side of London Bridge. Simon S. leading and aiming to get back around 1.30pm but please allow for a 2pm finish in your onward plans. 32 km (19 miles) and quite hilly. Route full of interest. Outward via Clissold Park, Woodberry Wetlands and Finsbury Park. Return via lovely off road Parkland Walk from Highgate to Finsbury Park, Emirates Stadium and Clerkenwell. Note Parkland Walk is unsurfaced and a bit bumpy. Last did this ride in Oct 2022, see report. Probable route: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1dnv6oM24W_KdAC159KSjM671i69IjW7d&usp=sharing.

Ride 2, Mar 2nd. Here be Dragons Ride.  < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/here-be-dragons-ride-tickets-845317406117 > Start 10am, Southwark Gateway Needle, south side of London Bridge. Aim to finish 12.30.  Ride leader Jane says “It's the year of the dragon so let's do a tour of the 14 Dragons marking the City of London Boundary (or as many as we can find). Approximately 10km, usual easy-going pace, mostly flat, stopping for photos if necessary - coffee stop if we can find somewhere open!”. A 10km ride suitable for all types of cyclists and bikes. Everyone welcome. Likely route:  https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&mid=1x1ipXzPFsKg1MXzAC6qwqPHo7RI&ll=51.51497477010249%2C-0.0932499999999914&z=15

 Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”.  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/

Note. Ride reports, often with photos and route maps, are posted to the Southwark Cyclists web site, yearly index links at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
